GLADIOLI. EARLY FLOWERING. 



THESE Gladioli are now extensively used by gardeners and florists for winter forcing; the 

 dwarf, branching gracefully-formed flowers being excellent for cut-flower use. If the spikes 

 are cut and placed in water when the first blossoms appear, they will keep expanding and 

 remain oeautiful for a week or two. Five or six bulbs planted in six-inch bulb-pans or pots make 

 charming groups for conservatory or window decoration; the bulbs should be set an inch and 

 a half deep. Ready in November. 



The following varieties may be planted in autumn in the open ground if mulched sufficiently 

 to exclude frost, or they may be kept in moist earth in a cellar or pit during winter and planted 

 in the open ground about the middle of April.
