These beautiful Early-flowering Gladiolus are greatly prized on account of their blooming in June and July, if planted in the autumn in dry soil and protected with a covering of about six inches of straw, leaves or litter. If planted in cold frames they will flower as early as this is perhaps the better way in very cold localities. These Sladiolus are also invaluable for flowering in the greenhouse in pojs for winter bloom. Millions of them are forced by florists for cut towers, and for this purpose they are par- ticularly beautiful. The aolors and markings are very handsome, and in other varieties softand delicate; the bulbs can be kept dor- mant until spring and than planted in open ground if preferred. (Ready in November.)
