GLADIOLUS. 



Per Pkt. 



Sow in the open ground (thickly) as soon as the ground 

 is warm in the spring, pressing the seed down an inch 

 or i-o. Weeding must be carefully done, or the tiny 

 plants will soon be choked up. If carefully tended 

 they will have formed small bulbs by fall, which must 

 be lifted when ripe and kept under cover like onions or 

 potatoes, to be planted out again the next season; 

 some of the strongest bulbs will then flower.
