AUTUMN FLOWERING GLADIOLI. — Tills tine class of plants is very popular, the flowers being richly coloured and extremely 
beautiful They are perfectly hardy, and^succeed in almost any ordinary garden soil, but give the best results if planted in a sunny 
position in a rich well-manured&oil.ir;V(The beds should be prepared in the Autumn, digging in deeply plenty of well-rotted manure. 
Planting should be' done', at the end of March or early in April, placing the bulbs 4 inches b,elow the surface, and 9 to 12 inches apart 
° ' the rows being 1 to ij feet from each other. When they are in full 
growth give plenty of water and occasional applications of liquid 
manure. Lift in Autumn when the leaves are beginning to die down 
and store the bulbs away in a dry place until planting time. Gladioli 
are grand for cutting purposes, and the spikes keep fresh in water for 
a considerable time.

characterLstic name of Butterfly Gladioli. They come into blaom
