THE GLADIOLUS. 
RAMOSUS, AND OTHER EARLY-FLOWERING GLADIOLI. 
These beautiful early-flowering Gladioli are not so stately as the French varieties of Gandavensis, but they 
come into bloom much earlier, and are prized on this account in the general succession of flowers. Where cut 
flowers are required, these should be extensively cultivated. The snow-white flowers of Colvilli, “ The Bride," 
are exceptionally valuable, and are extensively grown to cut for the supply of Covent Garden. 
Culture. — Trench the ground, working in plenty of rotten manure in the underspit ; plant the varieties 
of Colvilli, Cardinalis, and Byzantium from the beginning of October, and the others from November till March, 
at a depth of six inches. If the summer is dry and the weather hot, a good soaking of water or liquid manure 
twice a week greatly benefits the growing plants. 
Culture for Conservatory Decoration. — Plant three in a five or six-inch pot, and plunge in ashes 
in a cold frame or pit, and withhold water till the bulbs have started into growth ; or, the pots may be buried 
in ashes out of doors, as recommended for the Hyacinth, and there allowed to remain undisturbed till ready 
to remove indoors. It is customary with some to plant several bulbs close together in the open border, and, 
when the flower begins to colour, lift without breaking the ball, pot, and place indoors. So treated, the flowers 
expand as if the bulbs had not been disturbed.
