flowers for pot culture in the house or

from Christmas through the winter by 
planting six or eight bulbs in a 4 or 5 inch 
pot, keeping in a cool light place, and 
bringing in at intervals.

Gladiolus. 
GLADIOLUS COLVILLEI. 
Early flowering and fine for pot culture. 
For cutting purposes they are invaluable, 
as they will last in water for weeks after 
being cut, and as the flowers are smaller 
than autmun-flowering sorts they make 
up well for bouquets. They are hardier 
than most of the Gladioli, but will not 
stand severe winters without covering.

beautiful. Two for 5c.; 20c. per doz.,

blooming, dry off gradually, let the bulb 
remain in the pot without water, and keep 
in a warm place until it shows signs of 
starting again. 15c. each; $1.50 per doz.
