E. H. Hunt : seedsman ehhuntseedsman1895hunt Year: 1895 GLADIOLI. LAKGl: bulbs, which bloom during the Summer and Fall. The flowers are arranged on long spikes, and very richly colored, and often georgeously marked and blotched. By planting at intervals of a couple of weeks trom early in April until July, flowers can be had constantly from June until frost. Set the bulbs so that the top is about two inches below the soil. They should be taken up in the fall and kept in a dry cellar or cool closet until spring. It is an indisputable fact that the finer varieties of Gladioli are the handsomest and most showy summer flowering plants in existence. By cutting the spikes when a few lower flowers are open and placing them in water, the entire spike will open in the most beautiful manner; in fact, better than out-doors, as they are not affected by the scalding sun or dashing rain.
