GLADIOLUS. This is a very useful class of bulbs for 
spring planting, from the fact that the fiowers 
are not only among the most showy in their sea¬ 
son, but also because by making a succession of 
plantings the season may be prolonged until 
frost. Some of the later hybrid sorts are ex¬ 
quisitely delicate in their rich tints. They are 
most effective when massed among plants of 
similar character. They alternate with canuas 
very nicely, or with hybrid phloxes, roses or 
dahlias. They like a deep, rich soil and shel¬ 
tered position. Plenty of manure should be 
worked into the soil, hut not allowed, in its fresh 
state, to come in contact with the bulbs, as it 
causes them to decay. August.
