Gladiolus Cardinalis, “Blushing Bride” 
Gladioli, Early Flowering 
These Gladioli are invaluable for forcing in the green? 1 
house for winter bloom; the gracefully formed flowers 
are excellent for cutting. If cut and placed in water 
when the first flowers open, the colors will be purer and 
the buds will keep expanding and remain fresh for a 
long period. Plant six bulbs in a six-inch bulb-pan and 
cover one and a half inches. They make beautiful 
groups for window or conservatory decoration. The fol¬ 
lowing varieties may be planted out of doors if given 
protection from frost. 
For winter forcing. Cardinalis, Nanus or Colvillei 
type, ready in November.
