GLADIOLI IN CALIFORNIA. 



The growing of gladioli in the neigh- 

 borhood of San Francisco, for the mar- 

 ket, has never been thoroughly tested 

 and but few growers realize the money 

 that is to bo made by properly handling 

 this firticlc. Until a couple of years 

 ago the public had not seen many of 

 tlio newer varieties and, now that some 

 of the kinds arc well known, the de- 

 mand is greater than the visible supply. 

 'The old-fashioned garden sorts were 

 well enough for decorative purposes and 

 cheaji bouquets, but now even these 

 have fallen into disrepute and are sel- 

 dom seen. / 



The gladiolus, when welP-grown, is 

 one of the most satisfactory flowers to 

 handle, either for the grower or retail- 

 er. It is a splendid keeper, has a good 

 stem, mixes well with other flowers, can 

 be used in almost any sort of spray or 

 design, holds . its shape and substance 

 well after being taken out of water and 

 does not bruise easily in ship])ing. Such 

 a lot of good points, coupled with its 

 present popularity, make it one of our 

 most valued hardy flowers. Separate 

 colors are the best sellers, and at the 

 best prices, although any of the stand- 

 ard mixtures have up to this time given 

 good satisfaction and proven to be 

 money-makers. A few ideas regarding 

 their growing in this latitude may not 

 be amiss at this time. 



Gladioli will grow, multiply and blos- 

 som in almost any soil, but to have the 

 best results they should be planted in 

 rather heavy ground, where the drain- 

 age is good. Manure iised in close con- 

 nection with the corms is not a good 

 idea, as it has a tendency to cause rot- 

 ting. They should be planted from 

 four to five inches in depth and the 

 ground should be kept well loosened on 

 the surface. A few good soakings dur- 

 ing their growing season and one or 

 two more when they are flowering is 

 about all the care they need. In this 

 climate they multiply fast. When they 

 have finished blooming, and before the 

 rainy season commences, they should be 

 dug. It is not a good plan to cut the 

 plants down to the corm until they have 

 completely dried, and if they are still 

 green when dug they had better be 

 given about six inches of stem and this 

 should be allowed to dry and later 

 broken off. Some sorts multiply much 

 faster than others, and if the grower is 

 careful he will take off all the bulblets 

 and plant them by themselves, to grow 

 on. Cutting off the flowers tends to 

 weaken the corms to a great extent, 

 and if the grower wishes to increase his 

 stock of any particular variety he 

 should allow the flower to die on the 

 stem. When dug they should be put
