Haidy Hytiria Gladiolus 
The odd and fantastic markings of these Gladiolus, ana 
their beautiful shape, resemble the fascinating beauty of the 
Orchid. Yellow, crimson, white, brown, green, pink, etc. 
are blended together, producing an effect seen in no other 
flower. They are of recent introduction, therefore,njw and 
quite unknown. It is useless to attempt to describe their 
regal beauty, for it cannot be done. They must be seen. 
Resides their gay colors and odd markings, they have two 
very important points of superiority over other sorts. First, 
they bloom two or three weeks earlier and are in full perfec¬ 
tion before others appear; and secondly, they are hardy and 
may be left in the ground over winter, from year to year, 
without lifting in autumn; yet we do not advise this plan, 
as we think it Letter to lift them in the fall and store them 
in the cellar, that they may be planted out in fresh mellow 
soil in spring. They do well either way.
