This work aims to guide both novice and experienced gardeners in the cultivation of gladiolus flowers, covering various aspects such as planting, diseases, and historical context. The opening of the treatise introduces the purpose of the book, emphasizing that it is designed for those who may be new to growing gladiolus. Crawford presents the gladiolus as a beautiful, accessible flower that can thrive in many environments, hinting at its expanding popularity among garden enthusiasts. He also discusses the evolution of the flower's varieties, touching on both historical cultivation and the hybridization process that has led to its contemporary forms, thereby setting a solid foundation for the detailed cultivation techniques that will follow in subsequent chapters.
