failures. Their blooming period dates from the middle of August. If a preference is given to the 
Gandavcnsis over the Ramosus varieties for early flowering, plant a few of the former in pots in 
February and again in March, keep them in a cold frame till May, and then plant out without disturbing 
the ball, in ground prepared as we have recommended for Gladioli grown in the reserve garden. 
Before leaving the subject, it may be important to those who have Rhododendron and Azalea beds 
close to their houses, to know that the Gladioli succeed admirably planted amongst these. Their grand 
spikes of bloom, when planted in sufficient quantity, rising above the green foliage, produce an effect 
only surpassed by the flowers of the Rhododendron and the Azalea. Planted in groups in shrubbery 
borders the striking effect of the rich colours against the sombre back-ground is also very telling.
