GLADIOLUS. The gladiolus is the most attractive of all the Summer flowering bulbs, and deserves a place in every garden, as it is sure to flower and do well with very little care. It has no insect enemies or dis- eases. The flowers are of almost every desirable color. By cutting the spikes when two or three of the lower flowers are open, and placing them in water, the en- tire spike will open in the most beautiful manner. Set the bulbs from six to nine inches apart and about four inches deep. Plant from middle of April to first of June. It is a good way to plant at two or three different times, ten days or two weeks apart. This will give a succession of blooms from July to November.
