ALFRED E. CONARD, WEST GROVE, PA. 
CONARD'S FINE SELECTED GLADIOLI. 
We asK particular attention to our magnificent strains of Splendid Hybrid Gladioli, and cordially recom- 
mend them as among the most brilliant and handsome of all summer-flowering bulbs. No other flowers 
you can plant make such a brilliant display of gorgeous-colored flowers for so little money; they are 
easily grown and absolutely sure to bloom ; they take very little room, as they may be planted among 
shrubbery or other flowers without injury, or in beds or clumps by themselves. The bulbs will keep dry 
till wanted, and by planting at different times from April till July you can have a grand display of flow- 
ers from June till October. Plant three inches deep and four inches apart. When killed down by frost 
lift the roots, cut off the tops, and store in cellar; they keep as easy as potatoes, and are ready to plant 
again next season. They are the finest strains in exis'-ence and give immense satisfaction. 
SUPERB SEEDLING GLADIOLI. My Su P erb Seed ing Gladioli are grown from the finest 
* French hybrid varieties, and are fully equal in every 
particular to the best named kinds, which cost many times more. They include all desirable shades of 
rich crimson, pink, buff, salmon, yellow, white, lemon, rose, maroon, scarlet, cherry, etc., besides beauti- 
fully variegated, stripped, and mottled varieties, scarcely any two alike, and undoubtedly the most superb 
Gladioli now offered by anyone. PRICE:— Good, large bulbs, sure to bloom and bear largest size flowers, three

FINE MIXED GLADIOLI We recommend our Fine Mixed Gladioli as a very choice grade, 
* carefully selected with the special object of giving the finest flow- 
ers and the greatest variety of color for the least possible money ; their wonderful beauty surprises every 
one, and their cheapness is truly remarkable. Keep the bulbs dry and warm till wanted. Plant at differ- 
ent times for a succession. FIRST SIZE BULBS, extra fine, mixed, of all desirable colors, three for 10 cts.; 30

may be left in ground over winter ; flower spikes twelve to fifteen inches long, large, very handsome 
flowers, orange, rose, buff, crimson, white, brown, salmon, pink, &c, 
all curiously marked with intensely brilliant contrasting colors, like 
the wings of gaily colored butterflies ; they are so beautiful they ought 
to be better known, and we make prices very low so that all can have 
them. Price, good blooming bulbs, three for 10 cts.; 30 cts. per doz.; or

APIOS TUBEROSA """" 
TUBEROUS ROOTED WISTERIA. 
This elegant climber is not as well known as it should be. Most 
plants of equal value are much higher in price. A lovely slender 
climbing vine resembling the Chinese Wisteria in foliage and flower; 
it grows fifteen to twenty feet high and is easily trained on strings or 
trellis over porch or door-way ; blooms quickly the first season, and 
bears large clusters of rich purple flowers, delightfully fragrant and 
very beautiful. It dies down in winter, but is entirely hardy and 
needs no protection ; plant three or four inches apart. Price, strong, 
blooming bulbs, 6 cts. each ; three for 15 cts.; six for 25 cts. 
NEW CACTUS DAHLIA, NYMPHAEA. 
THE PINK WATER LILY DAHLIA. 
An entirely novel and distinct new Dahliaof elegant form and won- 
derful beauty. The flowers ai-e of large size, full and regular form, 
with broad, heavy petals and cupped or incurved centre; the color is 
clear, bright coral pink with rosy amai-anth shading, and closely resem- 
bling the pink Water Lily, always so greatly admired. The flowers 
are of exquisite texture, soft and graceful, and give forth a delightful 
perfume. It is the only swaet-scented Dahlia that we know of. The 
plant grows erect and branching, has remarkably handsome foliage, 
and is loaded with large, perfect flowers all through the blooming sea- 
son. Ta*ken altogether, it is certainly a plant of rare and exquisite 
beauty, and one we are sure that many of our friends will like to 
have.' Price, 18 cts. each ; two for 30c.; seven for $1.00.
