Put in the trench under them. After the plants are growing a complete fertilizer strong in potash is considered best. We growers do not usually recommend growing gladiolus in the same place twice on account of disease but of course many amateurs have to plant in the same place year after year and I know of people who have planted in the same place as long as nineteen years and still have good glads. If possible after digging your bulbs spade up the ground and sow rosen rye. Turn it under in the spring. One objection to plant- ing in the same place twice is that some bulblets will be left in the ground and will grow the next year and so cause a mixture. A good way to secure stock of new high price varieties is to buy bulblets. On varieties of this kind I will send selected bulblets which if cracked and a little care is taken with them will be very likely to grow and produce good bulbs and often will flower. A number of people bought Picardy bulblets last year at $ each and pro- duced a bulb which this year is worth $ or $ and also produced from 25-100 bulblets or even more which this year are worth $ each. These people would have had to wait two years or more for the bulbs to get down to $ By buying the bulb- lets they enjoyed the beautiful flowers and produced a lot of stock which they either grow for their own use or give away or sell. Remember we do not guarantee bulblets to grow. You have to take your chances with them the same as we all do. But by taking a little pains with them they should grow, tho occasionally a variety is hard to germinate even with the best of care. To germinate bulblets they need moisture and heat, especially sun heat. For the high priced bulblets I should crack the shells
