Gay Gladioli 
Brilliant and Colorful 
There is nothing in the summer-flowering bulbs that is more attractive or 
satisfactory than the Gladioli. They will thrive in any good garden soil, but 
amply repay extra care and feeding by larger sue and greater beauty of in¬ 
dividual flower. Our list in both the named varieties and mixture includes the 
most desirable sorts. Bulbs should be planted 4 inches apart and from 3 to 
4 inches deep. Must be dug in the fall and put in frost-proof cellar. 
Anna Eberius. Maroon-purple. 
Rose Ash. Lavender-rose. 
Crimson Glow. Large flowers. 
Dearborn. Very large flowers, deep flesh color; 
a splendid sort. 
Diana. Blood-red, very large. 
Flaming Sword. Early; scarlet. 
Giant Nymph. Large; La France pink. 
Golden Measure. Large; yellow. 
Heinrich Kangleiter. Dark red. Fine. 
Gladiolus 
Mixed Gladioli 
The regular mixed is made up of the 
older sorts. Where one does not care 
especially for named sorts, these mix¬ 
tures will give excellent satisfaction. 
Le Marechal Foch. Large; light pink. 
Mrs. Leon Douglas. Salmon-rose-pink; large. 
Mrs. Frank Pendleton. A very fine pink. 
Peace. Large; white, purple blotch in throat. 
Scarlet Wonder. Mammoth, clear color. 
Sovereign. Large; deep purple. 
Vaughan’s White. An extra nice white. 
Lilium canadense (Meadow Lily). 2 to 5 feet. 
The flowers are bell-shaped, yellow and red, 
and borne on graceful, drooping stems in 
July. A good native sort. 
L. candidum. 3 to 4 feet. Probably the hardi¬ 
est white Lily; flowers pure white. Also 
used for forcing. Should be planted in 
September. 
L. superbum (Turk’s Cap Lily). 4 to 6 feet. 
The best of the native sorts. A single stalk 
often produces from 25 to 40 flowers. 
When planted in groups no description can 
do them justice. As one writer described 
them, they are literally a blaze of scarlet 
and gold. 
L. tigrinum. The old-fashioned Tiger Lily. 
L. tigrinum fl. pi. (Double Tiger Lily). 4 to 
5 feet. Similar to the above, excepting that 
the flowers are double. 
Hardy Lilies 
These are especially valuable for planting 
among shrubbery, in borders or in clumps. 
The following varieties are all hardy and will 
improve from year to year without transplant¬ 
ing. We would advise planting as early in 
October as good, well-ripened bulbs can be 
obtained. 
War. Deep blood-red. 
W. H. Phipps. Fine light pink.
