DREER*S FANCY LEAVED CALADIUMS We are carrying the largest stock of Fancy Leaved Cala- diums in the world in an as- fiortment of varieties which, besides the choice standard sorts, includes many new and rare varieties not generally offered. Bulbs started at any time before the middle of April will make splendid plants in 3>^ or 4-inch pots, which will prove useful for porch and window boxes in shaded or semi-sliaded positions and which always meet with ready sale, while for the decoration of the Florist's store window during the summer months no more useful subject can be grown. We offer special se- lections according to va- riety as follows: Choice Standard Vari- eties, $1.75 per doz.; $12.C0 per 100; $100.00 per 1000. Choice Rare and New Varieties, $2.25 per doz.; $15.00 per 100; $140.00 per lOOO. Choice Mixed Varieties, $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.

"The larger sizes of giganteums, say from 8-inch up, will be scarce next sea- son and prices will be from twenty to twenty-five per cent higher. Greater care in growing is effecting some im- provement in quality and the quantity planted is about the same as last year, but these are mostly the smaller sizes. "The situation with regard to album and auratum is normal. The quantity planted of rubrum, Melpomene and magnificum is forty to fifty per cent short of normal and prices will inevi- tably be higher." Mr. Henry left Eobert Fulton at Yokohama, where he remained until January 9, on which date he sailed for San Francisco. GLADIOLI IN HOLLAND. Although hyacinths, tulips and daffo- dils take the first place in the bulb dis- trict, many other bulbous plants are also grown. Formerly only a few bulb growers cultivated such things as gla- dioli, anemones, chionodoxas, fritillarias, snowdrops, irises, ixias, sparaxis, mus- cari, ranunculus, scillas, etc., says a writer in the Horticultural Advertiser (British), but as it is impossible to grow hyacinths, tulips or daffodils year after year on the same place, many growers make a change of crop by the cultivation of the bulbous plants men- tioned above. Some growers also grow vegetables, and of these, potatoes, beans, cabbage and carrots give the best results. This year, especially, the crop of potatoes was remarkably fine, and-in some places paid better than tulips. The culture of beans and peas improves the soil for the cultivation of bulbs. In most cases, however, bulb culture gives better results, as the demand for all kinds has risen remarkably.

NEW YORK ous plants, except hyacinths, tulips and daffodils, "bygoed," and of this the gladiolus forms a main part. Gladioli are divided into two large groups, early and late-flowering kinds. Of these, the early Dutch gladioli, to which Colvillei, nanus, ramosus, etc., belong, are well known all over the world, but just lately the late gladioli have received the greatest attention. At the meetings of the floral committee of the Dutch Bulb Growers' Society, held every fortnight during the summer, a large number of the most beautiful varieties were shown this season. Of course not all the vari- eties are of Dutch origin, but we have seen Dutch seedlings as good as the best of the foreign varieties. In sup- port of the high quality of Dutch seed- lings, may be noted that a grower at Overveen sold six bulbs of the variety Meteor for 1,000 guilders (or $400); also for the so-called spawn high prices have been paid. In addition, Dutch bulb growers have extensive cultures of the best-known varieties, as America, Europa, Glory of Holland, etc. In the last year or two the culture of named kinds has in- Let Ayres' Superior Orchid-Flowering Sweef Peas Follo^e Tour Muina Tlio Fin* Unsurpaaied variotloa ABt« Ohn Spencer, lavender, lb, $2.00.
