Many more good sorts might be listed; but we have endeavored to offer only those possessing the highest merit as to size of flower and spike, purity of color- ing and distinct marking. Our mixtures will also be found of a high standard of excellence. A succession of bloom may be had from July to Sep- tember by planting at intervals from April to June. The strongest bulbs should be kept for the latest planting. The cultiva- tion of Gladiolus is very simple, as they will thrive in any good garden soil, but amply repay care and liberal feeding by enhanced size and beauty. The bulbs should be taken up before frost and stored in a dry cellar or cool room, where they will not freeze. Angele. White; showy and effective. Anna.
