Gladiolus. Of all our summer flower ing bulbs, the Gladiolus stands eminentlj at the head as the most varied and beautiful class. The flowers are produced in spikes two feet in height and upwards; the brilliant scarlet and crimson of some form a striking contrast with the delicate shades and pencilings of the lighter colored varieties. By planting at intervals, from May first to middle of June, a succession of flowers can be had from Julj' to October. Our un- named seedlings are un- usually fine, and comprise every shade of color from creamy white through the difi'erent shades of pink and scarlet to bright crim- son. See Catalogue No. 2 for the list of varieties. Tuberose. DOUBLE WHITE— Flowers very fragrant. Flower stems from three to four feet high. Late Autumn. PEARL—Its value over the common variety consists in its flowers being nearly double in size; imbricated like a rose, and its dwarf habit, growing only 18 inches to 2 feet.
