FERNS. 
Ferns are the lightest and most gracefui culti¬ 
vated plants. The fresh, transparent green of 
their fronds, as weli as their charming grace, 
makes them the most beautifui window orna¬ 
ments. Keep them out of the direct sunlight, and 
water carefully, that the delicate roots lying near 
the surface shall never become seriously dry.

ing Maiden-hair.Price, 25 cents.

Inches apart (rows eight to ten inches apart) and three inches deep, in a well pre¬ 
pared bed of garden soil. During July and August they throw up tall spikes of 
splendid flowers, of the most brilliant and gorgeous colors, crimson, scarlet, purple, 
orange, white, etc., with all imaginable intermediate shades and markings. They 
remain in bloom a long time, and always attract a great deal of attention. Be¬ 
fore cold weather the bulbs should be lifted and stored in any dry place secure from 
frost, where they will keep nicely, and be ready 
to plant again next season. 
Gladiolus with Boses.—Gladiolus is one of the 
few flowers which do very well planted between 
Roses, particularly in beds of Hybrid Perpetu- 
als. They take but little room, and do not inter¬ 
fere with Roses in any way, while their large 
spikes of gorgeous bloom make a splendid show 
at a time when Roses are not in bloom. 
Price, 10 cents each ; three for 26 cents, or 
18 flne bulbs, by mail, post-paid, for $1.00. 
NEW HARDY HYBRID GLADIOLI. 
These new Gladioli of the Perpurias Auratus 
—Gandavensis section—are very distinct and in¬ 
teresting. They are exceedingly handsome, the 
large, fine flowers being of the most intense and 
vivid colors. The spikes are magnificent, and 
the actual size of the individual flowers is shown 
by the accompanying illustration. Please note 
the low prices at which I offer these grand varie¬ 
ties. See cut on following page. 
Lemolnel.—Fine, good sized flowers, closely set 
] on the spike, which is about one loot long, 
upper petals of a creamy-white color, tinted 
salmon-red, the lower ones spotted with deep 
purplish-crimson, bordered with bright yel¬ 
low and salmon-red. Price,.25 cents. 
Marie Lemoine.—Long spike of fine, large, well 
expanded flowers, upper divisions of a pale 
creamy color, flushed with salmon lilac, the 
lower divisions spotted with purplish violet 
and bordered deep yellow. This is really the 
finest variety of the entire section, and too 
much cannot be said in praise of the surpass¬ 
ing beauty of its intensely rich colored flow¬ 
ers. Price,. 25 cents. 
GNAPHALIUM—Lanatum.

habit, admirably adapted for the front lines of

uriantly, and makes a charming pot plant.

FINE MIXED GLADIOLUS-All 
Colors Mixed. 
The Gladiolus is the most beautiful of the Sum¬ 
mer Tender Bulbs, with tall spikes of flowers, 
some two feet or more in height, often several 
from the same bulb. The flowers are of almost 
every desirable color, brilliant scarlet, crimson, 
creamy-white, striped, blotched and spotted in 
the most curious manner. The Gladiolus is be¬ 
coming exceedingly popular in all parts of the 
world, and while no flower has shown such won¬ 
derful improvement in the twenty years past, 
none has shown such a rapid advancement in 
public favor. My mixed varieties often rival the 
most costly named in beauty. I seil no flowers with more pleasure, because I know 
that while those who have plenty of means can Indulge in new, costly, and really 
magnificent varieties, those who have but little can secure a dozen bulbs that will 
be a delight and joy through half the Summer. The culture of the Gladiolus is very 
simple. The bulbs should be planted in the Spring, after danger of frost is past. It 
is a good way to plant two or three different times, ten days or two weeks apart. 
This will give a succession of bloom from July to November. Set them about six
