GLADIOLUS. 
(HYBRIDS OF GANDAVENSIS.) 
There are few flowers more showy and beautif>il than the Gladiolus, and the varieties of the 
Gandavensis section are pei-fectly hardy and easily grown, whilst their erect and stately growth, and 
long spikes of flowers, developing themselves suoocssivoly, never fail to win admirers. 
To facilitate the cviltivation of this highly decorative plant, a few remarks may be necessary to 
some : — 
The be.st and safest time for planting is from the beginning of April to the end of May, when a 
continuous bloom may be assured from July to September. 
Soil is not much a point for consideration, so long as it is not stiff and consolidated ; but it is 
important that it should be deeply dug previous to planting. . 
Large bulbs should be planted from 3 to inches, and smaller bulbs 2 inches deep. 
During excessively dry weather, copious waterings are recommended. 
When any bulbs show signs of growth before the time mentioned above, they should be potted 
and kept in a cool frame until the proper season for planting out.
