Gladiolus 
TRISTIS. We offer the variety CON- 
COLOR, which is pure straw yellow with 
deeper midrib. This is by far the most 
graceful Gladiolus, and is doubly useful as 
cut flower, as it is highly fragrant at 
night. Three to five flowers on a 2-foot 
stem. Blooms early in the spring. In the 
South it may be left in the ground for 
many years and it will give increasingly 
more satisfaction each succeeding year.

location. For pot culture use rich garden 
soil with leafmould and humus added and 
fertilize frequently with liquid manure.

COCCINEUS. A very unusual plant that 
is always unique. The pair of succulent 
leaves are about two feet long and four 
inches wide and lie flat on the ground, at- 
tracting immediate attention because of 
their unusual appearance. The leaves die 
down in early summer. The flower scape 
rises from the dormant bulb in September 
and is heavily and attractively mottled 
with purple and red. The flowers are pro- 
duced in an umbel four inches across and 
are blood red, followed by green berries 
which turn red upon ripening. Delivery
