EARLY FLOWERING GLADIOLI. 



These Gladioli are now extensively used 

 by gardeners and florists for winter forc- 

 ing; 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 beautiful for a week or two. Five 

 or six bulbs planted in six-inch bulb-pans 

 or pots, make charming groups for con- 

 servatory or window decoration ; the bulbs 

 should be set an inch and a half deep.
