GLADIOLI FROM SEEDS. 



After some years spent in crossing 

 early-flowering Gladiolus Gandavensis, 

 Lemoinei and Nancianus varieties, F. 

 Roemer, of Quedlinburg, Germany, has 

 been successful in raising crosses which 

 flower strongly the same year that the 

 seeds are sown. The flowers are large 

 and their colors varied. In order to ob- 

 tain early bloom, the seed is sown in 

 the month of March, and the conns must 

 be fit for planting out in May, the 

 treatment accorded them being such as 

 is found suitable for ordinary summer- 

 flowering plants. The plants carry from 

 twelve to sixteen large blooms, which 

 begin to appear in July. These new vari- 

 eties, flowering as they do the first year, 

 are calculated to revolutionize the trade 

 in gladiolus. Flower spikes were shown 

 at the recent exhibition of the German 

 Dahlia Society at Berlin. — Horticultural
