R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO.'S SEED CATALOGUE. 



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 be 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 thev will bloom when the Roses have 

 passed.
