GLADIOLI. 

 EARLY FLOWERING. 



These Gladioli are now exten- 

 sively used by gardeners and florists 

 for winter forcing; the dwarf, branch- 

 ing 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 

 beautiful for a week or two. Five 

 or six bulbs planted in six-inch bulb- 

 pans or pots make charming groups 

 for conservatory or window decora- 

 tion; the bulbs should be set an 

 inch and a half deep.
