BLUXDELL'S CATTLE MELONS AXD CATTLE MARROWS. 



Forty tons per acre are annually grown by Mr. Blundell of this highly nutritive cattle food. 

 It is impossible to over-estimate the value of these for Autumn feeding. The seed should be planted 

 in May where intended to grow.

THE GLADIOLI. 



This grand Genus may be divided into two really important sections — Summer and Autumn bloom- 

 ing : Ramosus and its seedlings (for descriptive list of the varieties in this section, see Autumn Bulb 

 Catalogue) flowering in July and August ; Gandavensis and its seedlings blooming in August, September, 

 October, and even November. As a cut flower for filling vases, &c, the Gladiolus is unsurpassed : 

 a flower-spike cut as it is coming into blossom will continue to develope its flowers in water, and last as ! 

 long as if it had remained on the plant. 



The stately growth and profusion of bloom of the Gladioli, combined with their ricb, diversified, and j 

 strikingly beautiful colours, entitle them to a first place hi the flower and shrubbery border ; and the scarlet ! 

 varieties — Bowiensis and Brenchleyensis — may with great advantage be ii3ed where distant effect is desired, i 

 These noble flowers cannot be too largely used for autumn blooming, standing, as they do, conspicuously { 

 prominent, when most other out-door plants have ceased to be effective. Commence planting in clumps ' 

 or otherwise in March, and continue doing so for succession till the end of May j and where cut forcers \ 

 for filling rases are largely in demand during the months of November, December, and January, plantings 1 

 must be made, to secure fowers for this purpose, in the reserved garden till the beginning of July. When j 

 cold weather sets in, the late plantings must be lifted with balls, potted or put into boxes, and stood in a 1 

 cool house, where they will open their flowers as well as if they had not been disturbed. The secret of j 

 success in growing Gladioli is to plant them in a deep soil well enriched with rotten manure, and liberally 

 water when necessary during dry weather.
