GLADIOLI. 
EARLY FLOWERING. 
These Gladioli are now exten- 
sively used by gardeners and florists 
for winter forcing; the dwarf, branch- 
ing 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 conservatory or window decora- 
tion; the bulbs should be set an 
inch and a half deep.
