Carters’ Hardy Bulbs for Winter and Spring Planting. 
TIGRIDIA. T1GRIDIA, 
GRAND1FL0RA ALBA 
(White Tiger Flower). 
— “A lovely plant in its 
own deliciously fugitive 
way, reminding one of 
those pearl-toothed East- 
ern beauties, who laugh 
at you one moment and 
then closely veil their 
faces the next, as if blush- 
ingly repentant of so bold 
a sin. 1 Creamy white, 
marked with chestnut -red, 
on a yellowish ground ; ’ 
yes, that sounds pretty 
enough, and having ob- 
tained a few of its bulbs, 
I am on the tiptoe of 
expectancy, seeing that 
its congeners are so 
strikingly lovely in the 
summer sun,” — From The

GLADIOLUS BRENCHLEYENSIS, 
Brilliant Scarlet. 
Carters’ Choice Gladiolus. 
Cultivation Of Gladiolus. — In the open air prepare your beds or borders by well digging them a 
spit deep, burying a stratum of good leaf-mould or rotten manure at the bottom. The surface soil should be 
rendered open by mixing sand with it, and being well broken in digging: plant the bulbs in clumps or rows, 
according to fancy, about six inches deep, taking care to cover them one inch deep with sand previous to 
re covering with mould. After planting, rake the ground well, giving it a southern inclination if possible ; keep 
free from weeds, and stir surface occasionally ; in severe weather, cover the bed with two or three inches of dry 
litter. In the latter stages of growth keep the bulbs moderately moist.
