GLADIOLUS. 
(HYBRIDS OF GANDAVENSIS.) 
There are few flowers more showy and beautiful than the Gladiolus, and the varieties of the 
Oandavensis section are perfectly hardy and easily grown, whilst their erect and stately growth, and 
long spikes of flowers, developing themselves successively, never fail to win admirers. 
To facilitate the cultivation of this highly dooorative plant, a few remarks may ho necessary to 
Borne : — 
The best and safest time for planting is from the beginning of April to the end of May, when a 
continuous bloom may be assured from J ulv to September. 
Soil is not much a point for consideration, so long ns it is not stiff and consolidated ; but it is 
important that it should bo deoply 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 signs of growth before tho time mentioned above, thoy should be potted 
and kept in a cool frame until the proper season for planting out.
