Random Notes If you are a lover of glads, and I suppose you are or you would not be reading this, you should have blooms over as long a period as possible every year. To do this plant early varieties early and late varieties late, as well as the midseason varieties. If you want certain varieties to bloom over a long period buy some small sizes as well as large ones. In comparing gladiolus do not compare the early varieties with the late ones. It doesn't matter whether they would compare favorably or not but they do not compete with each other. Early varieties would naturally be gone by before the late ones would be in bloom. There is a place for both. I do not give blooming dates. Conditions under which glads are grown make so much difference in the blooming time of them that planting dates are unreliable. In some parts of the country a variety will be two weeks longer coming into bloom than it is in others. Then a variety may come into bloom on a certain date and out of one hundred bulbs they might continue to bloom for a month or more from bulbs that look just alike and the same size. I list them as early, midseason and late. Don*t buy small bulbs and judge the variety by them. To know just what a variety will do you have to have a large bulb. Also don't judge a variety by only one year's trial. Often the bulbs have to become acclimated in your locality to really do their best. Every variety has peculiarities of its own as to conditions in which it will doits best. Some varieties will not stand any strong feeding at all. Some varieties will not stand cold or rain or sun while others will stand most anything. The bulblets of some varieties will germinate very easily while others need soaking a long time and need the soil to be ve
