The care that has been bestowed upon the Gladioli has resulted in the production of flowers of large size, charming colors and strong habits These good points, coupled with the ease with which they may be grown, and the prolonged season of blooming, are placing this class of Bulbs yearly into more extensive notice. The Flower-spikes, if cut when two or three of the lower flowers are open, and placed in water, will open in a most beautiful manner. They thi'ive well in almost any light soil, the best in moist, sandy loam. Plant in spring, as soon as danger from frost is over, 3 inches deep and about 6 to 9 inches apart. In the fall the Bulbs should be taken up and stored away where they ^vill be free from moisture and frost. Prices below include prepayment by mail unless otherwise noted.
