GNAPHALlUm LANAGUm.

bon borders : also a fine basket plant. 10 cents. 
The Gladiolus is the most beautiful of the 
summer or tender bulbs, with tall spikes of flow- 
ers, some two feet or more in height, often several 
from the same bulb. The flowers are of almost 
every desirable color, brilliant scarlet, crimson, 
creamy white, striped, blotched and spotted in the 
most curious manner. Set the bulbs from six to 
nine inches apart, and about four inches deep. 
Plant from middle of March to first of June. It is 
a good way to plant at two or three different 
times, ten days or two weeks apart. This will 
give a succession of bloom from July to Novem- 
ber. In the fall, before hard frost, take up the 
bulbs, remove the tops, leave to dry in the air for 
a few days, and store in some cool place, secure 
from the frost until spring. 10 cents each, 75 cts. 
per dozen.
