GLADIOLI FBOM BULBLETS. 



What is the best method of growing 

 gladioli from bulblets? My experience 

 has been that a great many fail to 

 sprout. D. W. D.— Md. 



Possibly your bulblets got too dry or 

 were kept too warm during tlio winter. 

 I prefer to keep them in sand, dry 

 loam or fine sawdust in bags or boxes 

 and place them in a cool cellar, the 

 temperature of which occasionally falls 

 to 32 degrees and rarely exceeds 36 

 degrees in winter. Sow in drills two 

 inches deep, broadcasting in the same 

 way as when sowing garden peas, and 

 get them in from the middle to the end 

 of April for the best results in vour 

 latitude. C. W. 



LEFT-OVER HYDRANGEAS. 



I purchased some hydrangeas for 

 Easter, 1920, but some I did not sell 

 and they have stood inside in the same 

 pots ever since. They had jiartial rest 

 and now buds are swelling, some of 

 them coming from the branches and 

 some from near the roots. Should they 

 be pruned? If so, now much? What 

 temperature do they need? Kindly tell 

 me how to handle them. S. M. — Kan. 



I am afraid your left-over hydran- 

 geas will not amount to much. After 

 Easter they should have been cut back 

 and, as soon as danger from frost had 

 passed, planted out in good soil where

they could be watered in dry weather. 

 Treated thus, you wouhl have had fine, 

 heavy plants to pot in the fall. If you 

 prune your carried-over plants, yon will 

 cut away the flowering wood. The best 



you can do now is to keep the plants 

 somewhat on the dry side for a few 

 weeks longer and start them up early 

 in January. If wanted for Easter, 

 either give the plants a small shift or
