The Illustrated Guide for Amateur Gardeners. 
DANIELS' SUPERB GLADIOLI. 
We would strongly recommend all who have not yet grown them to procure the new Giant-flowered hybrids, which can be highly recommended 
for making a display of rare beauty in the garden. The hybrids of G. Gandavcnsis are also well known and very popular. Tlant the corms firmly, 
three to four inches deep and eight or nine inches apart, in clumps as required, and put a neat stake to each when the flower buds make their 
appearance. March is the best month to plant for blooming in July and August, and by a few successive plantings in April and the early part of May, 
a succession of handsome flowers may bo had to the end of September. Gladioli are of especial value ns cut flowers. If the flower spikes are placed in 
water just as the blooms are beginning to expand, they will all open in succession to the topmost bud, and will retain their beauty for a long time.
