CULTURE Of THE GLADIOLUS. 
ne of the most beautiful flowering 
bulbs for sammer planting is the Gladio- 
lus. It is of most easy culture; any one 
can grow it successfully with the smallest 
ssible amount of care, and by planting 
at intervals froin ten to fourteen days 
apart, a continual succession of bloom 
‘may be had throughout the summer 
months. They are gradually growing 
into popular favor with all florists; for 
decorative work they are very valuable.

placing them in water they retain their 
freshness for a long time, ce gradually 
from day to day unfold the undeveloped 
buds. Care should be used in placing
