GLADIOLI. 
G.r. CANNELLS’ GLOXINIA {Gesneracece). 
Whenever these gorgebns flowers are at the zenith of their perfection, 
it would be difficult to imagine anything more beautiful, and as they can be 
easily flowered twice a-year, it is surprising that they are not more generally 
grown.

To be sown in a brisk heat at any time during February, and grown on 
vigorously, and they will flower abundantly during summer and autumn, 
and make extra strong roots by winter. 
Many who saw our 100-ft. house last season filled with the above in 
all their various forms will confirm the splendid sight, size of flower, 
and the surprising glare of colour; in fact, many exclaimed, “These are 
grand flowers! they beat Roses.” And, like all other choice flowers, every 
bloom selected for seed is hybridised with the greatest possible care. 
The brilliancy and beauty of the spotted kinds is perfectly marvellous.
