AUTUMN FLOWERING GLADIOLI. 



The varieties enumerated under this heading are the most stately in growth, brilliant in colour, 

 and surpass the whole genus in the magnificent display produced by their long spreading racemes of 

 salver-like blossoms, three to four inches in diameter, and these are seen to great advantage when 

 planted in the intervening spaces of evergreens, or rising from amidst the fohage of Rhododendrons 

 and Azaleas. 



The colours range from white to rose, from rose to deep crimson, and from crimson to bright 

 orange, flame, and scarlet. 



Culture, whether in pots or out of doors, such as we have recommended for the Ramosus 

 section. 



Time of Planting. — On light well drained soils the bulbs may be planted as early as the end 

 of March ; but on stiff soils, and such as are somewhat damp, the end of April or beginning of 

 May would be early enough, unless required to be in flower early in July. To accomplish this, plant 

 three bulbs in a six or seven-inch pot, and treat them as if they were intended to blossom without 

 removal. In May transfer them from the pots to the place in which they are intended to bloom, 

 without disturbing the roots.
