GLADIOLUS NANCEIANUS. (New Giant Gladiolus.) 
We do not exaggerate, when wc say that creating this new race has been the greatest achievement and moit 
splendid acquisition we have had in this genus of plants since the first G. gaiulavensis was raised from seed. 
Originated from a cross between the largo blotched hardy Gladioli and the Gladiolus Saundersii from the Cape, 
the new race has lost nothing from the hardiness of the mentioned parent, and has yet increased the beauty of the 
blotches, but has also acquired extraordinary dimensions, surpassing those of the largest gandavetms. The 
spikes being long and erect, the flower fully expanded in front, the plants suggest to the mind gigantic orchid 
flowers, with bright and curious colours, or rather very strange Amaryllis flowers decorating the spikes 
of a new genus irom the base to the top. 
^'1 call special attention tottie greatly reduced prices on this great novelty for this season.
