The Gladiolus is the most satisfactory and most iiopnlar of all 
garden bnlbs. Xothing else of the kind costs so little, and grows and 
blooms so naidily in any soil or climate. It is tlu! most satisfactory 
garden riowcT, thriving and blooming as it <locs, with least care and 
attention, and makes a display, which for I)rilliancy ami beanty of 
coloring, few biilt)s can cipial. The (Jladiolns is to tin' llower garden 
what bread is to men. 
Plant at any time from March to .Inne, in any fairly good soil, 
well s|)aded. Plant in fnll snn and keep down weeds. Try a hundred 
of my e.xtra large and e.vtra tine bulbs, and have the grande.st (lower 
you ever saw of all colors, yellow, crimson, buff, salmon, lemon, pink, 
rose, white, cherry, maroon, scarlet, and in fact all odd marked .sorts that one can tliink of.

of tCTiiperature, and does well in a northern cli- 
mate where all the native iilants iierish from
