Gladioli are very easily grown. Any good soil suits them. Plant, as soon as all danger from frost is past, about 3 inches deep and 7 or 8 inches apart. By planting at inten-als up to first of July these fine flowers can be had in bloom all through the summer and fallâthe later to flower being the best. Very effective in beds in masses or mixed with other plants. The cut-flowers keep in water for a long time. About end of October, when the leaves begin to wither, the bulb should be taken up, dried in the open air, and then stored in a dry place free from frost for planting next spring.
