GLAD|OLUS FOR
MARKET
By George $. Woodruff. low

The great Improvement OF recent
wears in the g~ladiolus is remarkable
because Of the fact that this flower
has been cultivated for about a hun
dred years. There are about lao
species, of which some 10 are OF
European and West Asian origin. a
few have been discovered on the
mountains of tropical Africa, but prac-
tically all our garden strains are from
the South African species, Narlously
hybridiZed.

are in cultivation in this country un-
less. possibly. in botanical gardens,
AS all those offered for sale are the
results of many crosses.

with existing strains, set out TO puilu

Sorts.
The gladiolus is p~ropagated bt di-
rect fuluptacltion by cOrInelS, and by
seeds. The CORN planted dies at the
end of the season but produces "a new
one at the base of each shoot it sends
up; SO that the rapidity Of multiplied
ton depends on the numbe of shoots
sent up.
When the cOrms are dug in the fan
a number of bulblets or "cormels"
are found attached to them. Some
sorts have very few and some a great
many, especially those having the
Lemoine blood" These cormels pro
duce the same kind as the corms they
are taken from and flower in the sec
ond or third year from planting
rarely the first year.
When seeds are sown they will pro-
duce hardly two sorts alike, and many
will not be worth keeping, but there
may be some fine new sorts. The
seedlings will flower the second or
third year.
1t is much more satisfactory to buy
the cream" OF other people's's seed
lings tina to fill the garden with a
lot Of poor sorts.
Plant in full sunshine. but not
against the south side of a wall, and
away from the roots Of trees, in
we'll prepared soil, a mellow, sand
loan preferred, and Ii retentlVt of
moisture.
Avoid contact with manure which
should never be fresh and had better
be plowed in the previous season or
in the fall.
Occasionally restore potash to the
soil in some form as for potatoes. If
the soil be stiff or clayey put sandy
loan in the furrow.
P~tt in burrows three to five inches

corms. and the quality Of the soil. and
at intervals of, say two weeks, from
to July.
BY this means and by the difference
in ea%rIiness of varieties, flowers ma
be had from July until hard frost. 1t
is most important tina the ground
be kept stirred and mellow at al!
times, especially as soon after each
rain as the ground will work well and
before a crust forms.
