This little book is written with a view to being of service to those inexperienced admirers[A] of the Gladiolus who wish to become better acquainted with its nature, and more familiar with the details of its cultivation.
While it is written from the view-point of the commercial grower, the interests of the amateur are kept in mind throughout, and the instructions are as carefully adapted to the management of a little garden as to that of an extensive field..
The language used is plain and easily understood, and the absence of technical terms, which might seem a fault to the skilled grower, will probably enhance the value of the work to the learner, for whom it is prepared.
