GLADIOLI—Our Specialty 
The Gladiolus is one of the most callod-for of our Summor-flowerinc bulbs. 
In (h(‘ following list of varieties we offer only those whieh we liave jrrown with satisfactory results. 
We devote a iar^e piece of ground to the trials of new vaireties and tliose which we catalogue; and durinK the flower- 
iuK period we have on exhibition, in our show windows, cut blooms to which we invite the attention of the public, making 
an excellent o])portunity for them to select the colors and varieties ino.st desirable. 
It is needless to .say that Gladioli at the i)re.'<ent time produce some of the finest colors and most exquisite .shades; 
especially Ix'autiful arc the delicate contrasts of the outer segments and the deep veining and heavily colored blotches 
of the throat, thus making the Gladiohis one of the most attractive Summer-flowering bulbs. We advi.se the planting 
of Gladioli during May and June, and should successive plantings l>e made, flowers may Iw liad until Octolx'r. 
Gladioli thrive in almost any good garden .soil; but if well prei)an‘d, by adding stable manure, better results may be 
ol>tained. 
Kxp{)sure to the sun is necessary at all times. Bulbs may Ix^ planted in rows either single or double, leaving alxnit 
ff)ur inches between bulbs and drills two feet apart; plant the bulbs four inches deep. 
When mass effect is desired, bulbs should be planted from sLx to eight inches apart and four inches deep; this applies 
to planting in beds, borders and among shrubbery.
