M'Intosh," orange-scarlet; "Delicata," white and maroon; and "Lucretia," white with cream-coloured blotch outlined in pink--a most beautiful gladiolus. All these at the end of June are a very splendid spectacle. Of other hybrids many are, of course, magnificent, but my taste turns to the Lemoine sorts. The form is not so popular as the great and grand gandavensis hybrids; but none of the latter can compare with some of the choicer Lemoines in splendour of colouring. Get a dozen of that deep crimson wonder "Achanti" and astound your friends.

Nancianus was also raised by M. Lemoine at Nancy out of G. Saundersii. These are huge, but rather coarse to my taste. G. Childsii is a traveller. It went to America, and returned with the name of a great grower there. Some are rather grand, such as "Mohonk," "Boston," &c. The monarch of all hybrids is Herr Max Leichtlin's beauty, "Princeps"--a brilliant scarlet cross between gandavensis and cruentus. These, of course, are but a handful of what you may possess.
