SELECT LIST OF GLADIOLI. 
THE GLADIOLUS. 
There are few flowers more showy and beautiful than the Gladiolus, and the varieties of the 
Gandavensis section are perfectly hardy and easily grown, whilst their erect and stately growth, and 
long spikes of flowers developing themselves successively never foil to win admirers. The luxurious 
combination of colours in some varieties is extremely charming, while the delicate hues and clearly 
defined stripes and blotches of others, when associated with the brilliant and distinct coloured kinds, 
present a picture that the most accomplished artist, with all his art, would foil faithfully to delineate 
or the pen, however ably guided, impressively to describe. 
To facilitate the cultivation of this highly decorative plant, a few remarks may be necessary to 
some : — 
The best and safest time for planting is from tho beginning of April to the end of May, when a 
continuous bloom may be insured from July to September. 
Soil is not much a point for consideration, so long as it is not stiff ami consolidated ; but it is 
important that it should be deeply dug previous to planting. 
Large bulbs should be planted from 3 to 4 inches, and smaller bulbs 2 inches deep. 
During excessively dry weather, copious waterings are recommended. 
When any bulbs show sign of growth before the time mentioned above, they should be potted and 
kept in a cool frame until the proper season for planting out. 
This beautiful tribe of plants should be largely planted everywhere.
