Gladiolus for Cut Flowers 
Will you tell me how to grow Gladiolus 
for cut flowers; how to cut, pack aud 
ship, and the best kind to grow? g. b. 
New Jersey. 
Large bulbs for blooming may be 
planted in April. May and June, if they 
can be kept from growing in storage until 
the later period. Successional planting 
will give a long blooming period. It is 
commonly reckoned that large bulbs will 
bloom in about DO days from planting. 
The ground should be well prepared, and 
in field planting furrows are made about 
three feet apart and six inches deep. The 
bulbs are set two to three inches apart 
in the rows. Clean cultivation is given, 
and as the plant develops it is an advan¬ 
tage to ridge up the rows, to prevent the. 
plants from being broken down by wind. 
Deep planting and ridging up does much 
to prevent this. 
Flowers must be cut for market with 
long stems and plenty of foliage. They 
should be cut in early morning, the best 
time being when the first flowers open, 
but if to be shipped a long distance they 
may be cut before any flowers have ac¬ 
tually opened. They are tied in small 
bunches, wrapped in paper, and packed 
in crates, in layers. An ordinary method 
of shipment is to tie in bunches of 26 to 
28 spikes, so that each bunch will make 
two liberal dozens. They are then placed 
in an upright position in a crate. 
Among fine varieties for cutting are 
America, soft flesh pink, one of the best; 
Niagara, cream yellow; Mrs. Francis 
King, flame color; Panama, rose pink; 
Peace, pure white, splashed with carmine 
on lower petals: Augusta, white with 
blue anthers; Baron Hulot. violet blue; 
Chicago White, white marked lavender; 
T/Immaeulee, pure white, early; Yellow 
Hammer, pure yellow; Pink Perfection, 
pink suffused buff; Liobesfeuer. scarlet: 
Halley, salmon pink, early. Princeps is 
our favorite among all red Gladioli, but 
there are only one or two flowers opened 
at a time, which lessens its popularity in 
the market. For garden use. however, it 
is superb, looking more like an Amaryllis 
than a Gladiolus, with wide-open flowers 
of dazzling scarlet, marked with pure 
white on the lower portion. 
Preparing Horseradish for Market 
I have some horseradish T wish to grind 
and put in bottles. I wish to find out how 
to do it right, as T have plenty of cus¬ 
tomers to buy it. How is it done? A. R. 
Rhinebeck, N. Y. 
The most profitable way to market 
horseradish is for the grower to grind the 
roofs and pack the pulp in wide-mouthed 
bottles. There are a number of grinders 
and graters on the market for this pur¬ 
pose. one local grower using a grinder 
similar to the meat, grinder in the market. 
The bottles used are of eight-ounce 
capacity, and from 6.000 to <8.000 are 
needed to contain the crop of one acre of 
roots. In preparing the roots for grind¬ 
ing. they are washed and peeled. After 
grinding the pulp is mixed with diluted 
vinegar at the rate of six gallons of vine¬ 
gar to a bushel of pulp. This amount 
will fill about 18 dozen bottles. Malt vin¬ 
egar is best for this process, as cider vine¬ 
gar turns the product dark. The malt 
vinegar should he diluted, using three 
parts of water to one part of vinegar, as 
it is generally too sharp. It is best to go 
bv the taste rather than by any specific 
recipe, as the important thing is to have 
the horseradish flavor. At times, vine¬ 
gar. mustard, spices and salt are added, 
and this product keeps longer than the 
preceding. Cork and cover with sealing 
wax after bottling, for if air enters the 
upper part of the product turns dark.

Moving Arbor Vitae; Strong Turnips 
I. Along the front of my house is an 
arbor vitae hedge 200 feet long planted 
about 50 years ago. If has been neglected, 
and grown to a height of about 12 feet. 
It must now be removed to make way for 
street widening. Do you think it worth 
while to attempt to move any of the 
trees this Fall? What are the chances of 
its living? 2. Oan you tell me why 
white turnips sown in July are so strong 
and taste so “woody” or “leathery” that 
they cannot he used for table? Can this 
objection be overcome in the cooking? 
Forest Hills, N. Y. .r. n. 
1. I would not consider these old trees 
worth bothering with. Trees of that ag3 
and size would have to be removed with 
a ball of earth to make any of them live, 
and that would be impossible to do on 
account of their standing in a hedgerow. 
Then, too. all of them except the end 
trees would be two-sided, which would 
render them unsightly and undesirable, 
even though they could be made to live, 
which they cannot. If the hedge must 
he removed, the best thing to do is to cut 
it down and burn it. or wait till near the 
holidays and sell the best of them for 
Christmas trees. 
2. The toughness and extreme pungency 
of your turnips is probably due to the 
hot. dry weather prevailing at the time 
they were growing. k. 
Aster Yellows 
One page 1107 J. K. asks for a remedy 
for aster yellows. If some wood ashes are 
worked in the soil around the roots at 
the time of transplanting it will be found 
very beneficial. S. E. F.
