I TO PLANT NOW I 
At'trAPtlon I^^^Pi dark, rich crimson with a very conspic- 
''^ ttCiH-FlI* uous, large, pure white center and throat. A 
most beautiful and attractive sort. 
5 Cts. Each, 50 Cts. Per Doz., $3.50 Per 100 
Hall^v *'^ variety of excellent merit on account of its earli- 
J^* ness. Bulbs planted in our trials late in April have 
yielded splendid spikes of bloom in June. The flowers are large 
and of a beautiful salmon -pink, with a creamy white blotch in 
the throat which greatly enhances their beauty. For massing in 
the garden we know of no variety in our list that will give more 
general satisfaction. 
5 Cts. Each, 50 Cts. Per Doz., $3.50 Per 100 
I 21_- I «»Viman ^ very prettily formed white variety. 
LiUy l^Climctn* while we do not consider this as good as 
Europe, we unhesitatingly recommend it as a good white. The 
general eflfect of the flower is a pure glistening white with just a 
tinting of pink at the tips of the petals. 
15 Cts. Each, $1.50 Per Doz., $10 Per 100 
I OV**lin^9^ '^ finely formed, smooth-petaled flower on a 
strong bold spike carrying as many as eight 
blooms open and in good condition at the same time. The color 
is a pale primrose with a faint suffusion of buff or apricot. It has 
a primrose inner petal and purplish throat with blue anthers which 
contrast beautifully with the purity of this noble flower. 
20 Cts. Each, $1.50 Per Doz., $15 Per 100

Mrs. Francis King. 
Schwaben* 
A color not usually seen in Gladiolus, and 
one that contrasts well with the pale pink 
and prmirose varieties. A beautiful shade of deep lavender, lower 
petals penciled primrose. 
30 Cts. Each, $3 Per Doz., $20 Per 100 
A strong grower, vigorous and 
healthy. Has long, strong foliage 
and efl'ective flower-spikes, with a goodly number of reserve buds 
continually opening. The magnificent flowers measure 4J-^ inches 
across, and there are five or six flowers well spread out on the 
spike at the same time. The color, brilliant flamingo-pink, blazed 
with vermillion-red, is most effective both in daylight and under 
artificial light. 
5 Cts. Each, 50 Cts. Per Doz., $3.50 Per 100 
Without the least doubt, the finest yellow of 
recent introduction. A robust, rather dwarf 
grower; pure canary -yellow with a carmine blotch deep in the 
throat, which does not detract from its beautiful, uniform color. 
The flowers are large, borne on strong stems, well placed, fre- 
quently six to eight open at one time. 
20 Cts. Each, $2 Per Doz., $15 Per 100 
Excelsior Double Pearl Tuberoses. ^Ti'LTt 
bulbous plant for the hardy border. This is a very good time to 
plant. Why not order a few while you think of it.
