In spring the roots send up several si out herbaceous stems 3 or 4 feet high, clothed with gray green leaves hav- ing a velvety appearance and feeling, and in midsummer or later it produces a profusion of the most magnificent flowers imaginable. On established plants many of the flowers are from JO inches to a foot across, well opened and almost pure white with a deep crimson eye. The cut doesn't do it any- thing like justice. Thrives in poor dry soil but will well repay a better location. We do not know whether the roots will prove hardy at rhe North, but are inclined to think they will if set deep and well mulched in winter. Or roots may be wintered in a box of soil in pit or cellar. 15c each. Sweet Cum Tree GLADIOLUS. A native tree of great beauty, very rapid growth, and perfect hardi- ness.
