BRENCHLEYENSIS. This brilliant Gladiolus should be extensively used for massing; the bulbs, grown in Holland in immense quantities, are used in England, literally, by the million. A field of them will burst into a blaze of bloom of positively dazzling brilliancy, so that it is almost impossible to look upon it; they are certainly unsurpassed for use in massing and for background, or scattered among shrubbery. They come quickly into bloom, while they can also be planted in this lati- tude as late as the middle of July, and will even then bloom before frost. The flowers are of a dazzling scarlet color, of good size, almost enveloping the entire spike, which is very long. 5 bulbs for 10 cts.; 50 for $; 100 for $ CERES.

The ground color is pure white, while each flower has a conspicuous large blotch of violet-rose; a line or row in full bloom makes a very pleasing, distinct, and attractive appearance. 5 bulbs or more, at 2 cts. each; 100 for $ MADAME MONNERET.
