50 cents per dozen.

ings of clear crimson pink. 5 cents each; 50 
cents per dozen. 
METROPOLITAN. (Groff). The gem of this col¬ 
lection. The flowers are of the largest size,

striped rich crimson. 5 cents each; 50 cents 
per dozen.

petals edged primrose-yellow. Plant vig¬ 
orous ; spike straight and strong. 5 cents 
each; 50 cents per dozen. 
MRS. FRANCIS KING. (Coblentz). A 
pleasing shade of light scarlet. Flowers

cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $2.50 
per 100. 
MRS. FRANK PENDLETON, JR., (Kun- 
derd). Awarded First-class Certificate of 
Merit by the Massachusetts Horticultural 
Society, Boston. This new variety is the 
result of crossing the best of the largest 
flowered types, and is now a type of its 
own. The color is the most exquisite sal¬ 
mon-pink, with a very conspicuous blood- 
red blotch in the throat on the lower 
petals. 15 cents each; $1.50 per dozen. 
NAZINSCOTT. (Childs). Bright blood- 
scarlet with deep, velvety crimson-black 
blotches and white mottlings in throats.

ly splashed with rich carmine. The sta¬ 
mens are purple, and the stigmas pale 
carmine. 10 cents each; $1.00 per dozen;

$1.00 per dozen; $8.00 per 100. 
PEACE. (Groff). Wonderful White Glad¬ 
iolus. Gigantic flowers are borne on a 
magnificent tall spike; the entire plant 
shows a vigorous, healthy constitution. 
The wide open flowers are of a glistening 
white, with an attractive narrow stripe 
of purplish carmine through the center 
of each lower petal. This extra throat 
marking is not a detriment to its beauty but 
adds to its attractiveness. The noblest white 
Gladiolus. 15 cents each; $1.50 per dozen. 
PINK BEAUTY. (Speelman). Deep pink with 
small dark blotch. 5 cents each; dozen 50 cents. 
PRESIDENT TAFT. (Stewart). An exquisite

grand variety which evokes words of praise 
wherever exhibited. The spikes and flowers are 
of largest size. 25 cents each; $2.50 per dozen.
