GLADIOLUS 



No flower has gained more rapidly ia public favor than the Gladiolus; this could not well be otherwise, for in addition 

 to the great intrinsic merit of the iiower, it is easy of cultivation and blooms the first season. Gladioh thrive in almost 

 any good soil except a stiff clay, require full sunlight and are hable to injury only from rank manure. Plant the bulbs 

 six to nine inches apart, the large ones four inches and the small ones two inches deep. Make an early planting of the 

 smallest bulbs first as soon as the ground is sufficiently dry and warm. Continue to plant at intervals of two weeks 

 during the spring and early summer; in this way a succession of bloom may be had from mid summer until frost. In 

 autumn, before freezing, they should be dug up and the tops allowed to dry down, after which the dry tops, earth and 

 old bulbs can be removed. Store in a cool, dry place, secure from frost until spring.
