Your Early Glads'
The early-flowering gladioli are extremely useful for pot work in late spring.
, The corme are now to hand and . should be potted immediately, using fiin pots and putting six or eight corms in each, in a compost of loam, well-rotted manure and sand. After potting, place them in a frostproof frame, but give no water until growth commences. On no account attempt to force them, as this will end in failure; they must be allowed to coma on gradually, although when the flower 9pikes are well up they may be forwarded a little by being given a slightly warmer place.
