PLOWERINa BULBS, &c. 



EARLY FLOWERING GLADIOLI. 



Culture in Pots, for the decoration of the orchard-house, conservatory, &c. : — Plant in January, 

 Febniary, or March, three bulbs in a seven or eight-inch pot, using a compost of equal parts of peat, 

 leaf-mould, loam, and sand ; make the soil somewhat firm about the bulbs, and withhold water till 

 the plants appear, then give it gradually. The pots should f>e plunged in cold pits or frames, where 

 they may remain till May, when the plants should either be planted out, or, if intended for in-door 

 decoration (for which they are admirably adapted), placed out of doors in a shady situation, and 

 attended to with water till ready to place in the conservatory, &c. 



Culture out of Doors. — Plant for succession in January, February, March, and April. Should 

 the soil be well drained, it will simply require deep digging and well working, adding as the work 

 proceeds plenty of thoroughly rotted manure ; should it be wet, or of an adhesive character, besides 

 deep digging and well working, it should be raised two or three inches above the general level ; or 

 what is far better, four-feet deep drains run at a distance from each other of eight to twelve yards. 

 Plant the bulbs four inches deep and nine inches apart, surrounding each with a thin layer of clean 

 sharp sand. When the ground intended for these is occupied with Spring flowering bulbs, or is un- ' 

 usually wet and cold, plant them in pots, and when the time comes for turning them out, be careful 

 not to disturb the roots.
