Gladioli, Hybrids of Gandavensis. 
These charming Flowers should be placed 
in the front rank as decorative plants for the 
open garden, or for cut flowers. They succeed 
admirably in almost any soil or situation ; and 
planted three or four inches deep in clumps of 
three or more, are splendidly effective, whilst 
if the flower spikes are cut and placed in water 
the blooms will open to the topmost bud, and 
retain their beauty for a long period. The colours 
embrace all the most brilliant and lovely shades 
of scarlet, rose, crimson, pure white, purple, 
yellow, &c., and by a few successive plantings 
from March l o May a succession of beautiful 
flowers may be had from July to the end of 
September.
