Thev are the most stately and effective of our summer flowering bulbs, being of a robust erect growth, with green sword-shaped leaves and magnificent flower-scapes, rising from two to four feet in height. The colors comprise the most brilliant of orange, scarlet, and vermilion tints upon yellow and orange grounds, including a graduated scale of intermediate shades, from white and rosy blush and salmon rose tints, to a salmon red and nankeen ; from blush-white with purple crimson throat, and marginal streak of pink, to light rosy salmon grounds, with flakea of deep carmine. A succession of bloom may be had from July to September, by planting at intervals from April to June, preserving the strongest bulbs for the latest planting. Their culture is very simple : they will grow in any ordinary garden mould, but succeed best in good earth, manured with well-rotted horse-dung. The btilbs are taken up in the tkll and placed in a dry cellar, protected from frost. Gladiolus in Assortments—Invariably our Selection.
