Gladiolus 
(Cardinalis or Nanus) 
The Orchid Gladioli 
Ready in November 
THE HARDY GLADIOLUS FOR THE GARDEN. PLANTED OUT IN 
FALL WILL FLOWER THE FOLLOWING JULY 
A specialty of exceptional value both for forcing and outdoor culture. 
Extremely early flowering. Flowers outdoors in June and July 
These beautiful early-flowering varieties are invaluable for pot culture and for 
border planting. They force readily, and they, may be had in flower from the end 
of April till the end of July. They may be forced like Ixias, but they require more 
pot room, and they are invaluable for their yield of cut flowers from the open in 
June and July. They last long in water, and every flower opens to the extremity of 
the spike. Their rich colors and vivid markings on the lip petals rival those of 
Orchids, and we recommend this group not only for their beauty, but because they 
are very easy to grow. A light soil and a slight protection with litter during very 
sharp frost will prove all they require, and the spikes will l>e longer and the flowers 
larger if the plants are mulched in dry weather.
