olus. An imported variety of great promise. 
Delicate cream, very slightly tinted pink. A de¬ 
lightful white; very waxy and lily-like. Flowers 
of large size and slightly ruffled on the edges. 
The blossoms are not set close on the spike like 
the “America-type,” but grow on longer stems 
like lilies. The effect of a vase is very beauti¬

the ordinary sorts. 10 cents each, $1.00 per

Kunderdi Glory 
Mrs. Frank Pendleton, Jr. (Kunderd). Awarded 
First-class Certificate of Merit by the Massachu¬ 
setts 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. Its color is the most exquisite salmon- 
pink, with a very conspicuous blood-red blotch 
in the throat on the lower petals. This novelty 
was exhibited at Boston, Bar 
Harbor, and Newport; and 
judging from the comments 
made by those who saw it, 
undoubtedly it will become the 
most popular Gladiolus. 15 
cents each, $1.50 per dozen.

Wonderful White 
Gladiolus. Gigan¬ 
tic flowers are 
borne on a mag¬ 
nificent tall spike,

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 centre of each 
lower petal. This 
extra throat mark¬ 
ing is not a detri- Europa. 
ment to its beau¬ 
ty, but, adds to its attractiveness. The noblest 
white Gladiolus. 15 cents each, $1.50 per dozen.

olus. 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, 
combined with the brillant sulphur-colored flow¬ 
ers makes it very effective for groups and beds. 
The brownish-carmine blotch being very deeply 
set in the throat, the entire effect is not re¬ 
duced, hardly making any appearance unless 
each flower is examined. 25c each, $2.50 per doz.
