MRS. W. E. FRYER. Poppy-red with amber- 
white throat, and a blotch of crimson. A unique

SCHWABEN (Pfitzer). Beautiful New Yellow 
Gladiolus. Finest of German importations. This 
striking new Gladiolus is a pure canary-yellow, 
shading to soft sulphur-yellow when opening: 
the deep golden-yellow center is blotched with 
brilliant brownish-carmine. Foliage is large and 
vigorous, of a beautiful dark green, which, com¬ 
bined with the brilliant sulphur-colored flowers 
makes it very effective for groups and beds. The 
brownish-carmine blotch being very deeply set 
in the throat does not reduce the entire effect, 
and hardly makes any appearance unless flower 
is examined. 25 cents each; $2.50 per dozen. 
WAR (Groff). A Giant Red Gladiolus. Largest of

greatly to the surroundings.
