East Bridgewater Dahlia Cardens J. K. Alexander , East Bridgewater , Massachusetts 
Peace (Groff). Wonderful White Gladiolus. Gi¬ 
gantic 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 centre 
of each lower petal. This extra throat marking 
is not a detriment to its beauty, but, on the con¬ 
trary, adds to its attractiveness. It is impossi¬ 
ble to overpraise the cool elegance of Peace. 
It surely is the noblest white Gladiolus. 15 cts. 
each, $1.50 per dozen.

apple-blossom pink, with a beautiful veining of

Schwaben. Beautiful New Yellow Gladiolus. The 
finest of the German importations. The flowers 
of this striking new Gladiolus are of a pure 
canary yellow, shading to a soft sulphur-yellow 
when opening; the deep golden yellow center 
is blotched with a brilliant brownish carmine. 
The foliage is large and vigorous, of a beautiful 
dark green, which, combined with the brilliant 
sulphur - colored 
flowers makes it 
very effective for 
groups and beds. 
The brownish-car¬ 
mine blotch being 
very deeply set in 
the throat, the en¬ 
tire effect is not 
reduced, hardly 
making any ap¬ 
pearance unless 
each individual 
flower is exam¬

dozen.
