Gladiolus, Linn. From gladius, a sword ; al-

 Or. 1, Wat. Or. Iridacex. This is an exten- 

 sive ' genus, consisting chiefly of beautifully 

 flowering Cape bulbs. The species thrive best 

 in a mixture of very sandy loam and de- 

 cayed leaves, or peat soil, and require no 

 water after they have done flowering till 

 they begin to grow afresh. In the month of 

 October they should be taken out of their 

 pots and replanted in fresh soil, when they 

 should be set in a cool frame, or some such 

 place, as they require to be only protected 

 from frost till such time as their pots are full 

 of young roots ; then they may be set in a 

 warmer situation, and watered regularly, and 

 they will flower freely. The hardy species 

 thrive well in a light sandy soil, and are ra- 

 pidly increased, as well as the tender kinds, 

 by offsets from the bulbs ; they require to be 

 planted in a warm south border. If intended 

 to remain in the ground all the winter, the 

 smaller bulbs must be planted six inches deep, 

 and the larger ones eight inches, so as to be 

 out of the reach of frost ; they should also be 

 covered with a little dry litter in severe frost, 

 or they may be taken up in autumn, and laid 

 to dry all the winter where the frost cannot 

 hurt them ; they must then be planted early 

 in spring, and they will generally flower well.
