GLADIOLUS, Linn. From gladms, a sword ; alluding
to the sword-shaped leaves. Linn. 3,
Or. 1, 'Nat Or. Lricldcece. This is an extensive
genus, consisting chiefly of beautifully
ilowering Cape bulbs. The species thrive best
in a mixture of very sandy loam and decayed
leaves, or peat soil, and require no
water after they have done flowering till
they begin to grow afresh. In the month of
October"^ they should be taken out of their
pots and replanted in fresh soil, when they
should be set in a cool frame, or some such
place, as they require to be only protected
from frost till such time as their ]^ots are full
of young roots ; then they may be set in a
warmer situation, and watered regularl}^, und
they will flower freely. The hardy species
thrive well in a light sandy soil, and are rapidly
increased, as well as the tender kinds,
by oifsets from the bulbs; they require to be
planted in a warm south border. If intended
to remain in the ground all the winter, the
smaller bulbs must be planted six inches deep,
and the larger ones eight inches, so as to be
out of the reach of frost; they should also be
cover ed with a little dry litter in severe frost,
or they may be taken up in autumn, and laid
to dry all the winter where the frost cannot
hurt them ; they must then be planted early
in spring, and they will generally flower well.

A bed must be prepared, in which the seeds may
be sown an inch deep, and if the spring is dry,
they will not vegetate till the following year.
