The flowers of this variety are entirely distinct from the other classes; resembling some of the varieties of cactus, hence the name. Especially fine for cut flowers and decorative work. Constance.—Pure white, fine shaped flowers, and one of the freest flowering. Glare Of the Garden.—A grand variety of the loose flowered or flat petaled type ; a bril- liant scarlet. ^William Pearce.—One of the best bloomers of this class; flowers medium size, deep yellow Black. Prince.—Rich deep maroon shading to black; a beautiful variety. GLADIOLUS SNOW WHITE. The Gladiolus is the most beautiful ot the summer or tender bulbs, with tall spikes of flowers, some two feet or more in height, often several from the same bulb. The flowers are of almost every desirable color, brilliant scarlet, crimson, creamy white, striped, blotched and spotted in the most curious manner. By cutting the spikes when two or three of the lower flowers are open, and placing them in water, the entire spike will open in the most beautiful manner. Set the bulbs from six to nine inches apart, and about four inches deep. Plant from mid- dle of April to first of June. It is a good way to plant at two or three different times, ten days or two weeks apart. This will give a succession of blooms from July to November. In the fall, before hard frost, take up the bulbs, remove the tops, leave to dry in the air for a few hours, and store in some cool place secure from the frost, until spring. Africaine.—An entirely distinct variety of quite a novel color; slaty- brown or scarlet ground, streaked with scarlet and pure white, with conspicuous white blotch. Ceres.—Pure white, flamed lilac.
