When seeds are sown, the seedlings should all pro- duce corms of flowering size in 3 years. Seed should be planted very early in the open ground on rich, sandy soil and not allowed to suffer in the least for lack of GLADIOLUS 647 912. Gladiolus • m erowine abo ) shows cormels moisture. At the end of the first season's growth the conns of the seedlings will be the size of peas, and can be stored under the same conditions as large corms. The second season plant the corms as if they were gar- den peas. Some will bloom the second year, and all should bloom the next. Increasing stock by the small corms or bulblets is the most common method, and the one by which a variety is perpetuated. The small corm is but a cutting or eye, and can be stored in bags, boxes or other suitable re- ceptacles and kept from frost. It is a help to sprouting if the corms are not allowed to dry out during the pe- riod of rest. They should be planted like 1-year seed- lings, making blooming bulbs the first and second year. E. H.
