Bulbs of Gladiolus. 
Gladiolus hybridus 
Lemoinei. 
A valuable race of Gladioli, earlier than the Gandavensis 
variety and more hardy, their bulbs not needing to be 
lifted in Winter. The colours are very striking and 
diversified, with large blotches on lower petals, and they 
come in to fill the gap between the early flowering and 
Gandavensis section. The following comprises a really 
superb assortment.

These two eolleetions are specially 
selected and recommended for me

Giadioius hybridus Childsi. 
The newest variety, perhaps scarcely yet known in England 
far surpassing G. Nanceianus by their unique designs in 
most magnificent colours, many of which have not been seen 
before particularly Blue, Ashy Grey, Black Purple etc.; 
their principal value however lays in their bright Bose Eed 
shades and charming designs in the throat. They are much 
hardier than any other variety, growth being very luxuriant 
and the foliage keeps clean and healthy. The spikes are 
very erect about 5 ft. in height forming side branches often 
2 ft. long while the flowers measure 8 inches in circumferance. 
A trial is particularly recommended. (See engraving.)
