WHEN YOU ADMIRED 



th.\t j>iorious dis|jlc\y of Gladioli with their iTiAssive but stAtely spikes of strikinfjly hand- 

 some flowers in a wonderful ranjie of rich colours they were the most prominent and 

 }<orgeous of all the flowers in that ideal jjarden probably you thought them difficult to 

 cultivate. Such a display can. however, be reproduced in your own garden from June to 

 October, without the aid of a greenhouse or specially prepared soil. Simply procure, 

 some reliable bulbs and plant them 3 to 4 inches deep and 1 foot apart in a sunny 

 position. They are wonderfully hardy and multiply each year, therefore quite inexpensive.

 chasing a collection you secure a selection of flowers in a large striking variety of colour,
