GLADIOLUS. 
No plant blooms so freely with little or no care as the Gladiolus. The 
varieties are now so numerous, and many of them so much resembling each 
other, that we do not give a descriptive list of varieties; no garden, however 
small, should be without them. We offer, this season, a choice collection of 
seedlings, surpassing many of the named varieties in beauty, and at one half 
the price. Price — Named varieties, 25 cts. to 50 cts. each; $3.00 per dozen; 
seedlings, 15 cts. each; $1.50 per dozen ; $5.00 per hundred.
