creamy-white, its cool angelic beauty is most en¬ 
trancing. Distinctive in form and color; and of

gantic flowers are borne on a magnificent tall spike; 
the entire plant shows a vigorous, healthy constitu¬ 
tion. The wide open flowers are of a glistening 
white, with an attractive narrow stripe of purplish 
carmine through the center of each lower petal.

white Gladiolus. 10 cents each; $1.00 per dozen;
