GLADIOLUS. 



Karly KlOTvering, Hardy Varieties. 



Among these are some of the most useful of the Gladi- 

 olus, flowering in May and June, when flowers are greatly 

 in demand. For cutting purposes they are invaluable, as 

 they will last in water for weeks after being cut; and as the 

 flowers are smaller than autumn flowering sorts, they make 

 up well for bouquets. They are hardier than most of the 

 Gladiolus, but will not stand severe winters without cover- 

 ing. They are usually planted in October, and are covered 

 on the approach of severe weather.
