CHOICE CLADIOLUS. 
(HYBRIDS OF GANDAVENSIS.) 
There are few flowers more showy and beautiful than the Gladiolus, and the varieties of the 
Gandavmaia section are perfectly hardy and easily grown, whilst their erect and stately growth, and 
long spikes of flowers, developing themselves successively, never fail to win admirers. 
To facilitate the cultivation of this highly decorative plant, a few remarks may be necessary to 
some : — 
The best and safest time for planting is from the beginning of April to the end of May, when a 
continuous bloom may be assured from J uly to September. 
Soil is not much a point for consideration, so long as it is not stiff and consolidated ; but it is 
important that it should be deeply dug previous to planting. 
Large bulbs should be plants from 3 to 4 inches, and smaller bulbs 2 inches deep. 
This beautiful tribe of plants should be largely 
planted everywhere, because — 
They are perfectly hardy and easily grown. 
They are gorgeously beautiful. 
Their handsome spikes of flowers are useful for 
decorating vases and epergrnes. 
Their flower buds expand and last a long time 
when cut and placed in water. 
They are charming when Introduced into borders 
among Evergreens. 
Planted by hundreds among Rhododendrons, they 
brighten and enliven the heds during the summer 
and autumn months. 
Orders for the above are booked through- 
out the year at the following prices, and 
the bulbs supplied in January, February 
or March.
