GLADIOLI. 



These may be planted in the open 

 garden from April until June. They 

 succeed in ordinary garden soil, and 

 well repay any care in cultivation 

 bestowed upon them. The ground 

 should he liberally enriched and dug 

 over to a depth of fifteen to eighteen 

 inches. The bulbs should be set four 

 inches deep and six inches apart. 

 Clumps of Gladioli planted through 

 shrubbery borders are most effective, 

 also among beds of roses, where 

 they will bloom when the roses havf 

 passed.
