10 ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO 
GLADIOLI 
Ge are among the most popular of all garden flowers. Each year the size, color, and beauty of these wonderful flowers 
are being improved upon. They are very easy to grow and will do well in almost any soil under any condition. If planted in 
a richest place of your garden and given plenty of sun and moisture they will, however, repay you with extra-large and gorgeous 
colors. 
To obtain a continuation of blooms during the greatest part of the season, it is advisable to plant at intervals of ten days, from the 
last week in April until the middle of June. 
Some varieties will bloom in seventy-five to eighty days from the date of planting, but most sorts require eighty-five to ninety days. 
Plant the bulbs about 5 or 6 inches deep and from 3 to 4 inches apart. 
Im October, when the foliage has turned yellow, dig the bulbs, cut the stems off within an inch of the bulbs, and dry them thoroughly. * 
Then remove the old roots and store the bulbs in a cool, dry place where frost cannot reach them. 
Their easy culture appeals to all, and the freedom from disease and insect pests is another great asset. They associate so well with 
all garden flow ers, but above all are the decorative possibilities both as a cut flower subject and also in the garden. The collection we 
here offer i is_unsurpassed and will be a source of great delight to all who plant them. The flowers last 2 long time when cut. Do not 
ae S08y in planting Gladioli, but plant by the dozen, or even by the hundred. Varieties marked with an asterisk (*) are particularly 
e for forcing. 
The collection we offer embraces the introductions of such noted hybridizers as Betscher, Childs, Diener, Kunderd and others. It 
includes the best of the new Ruffled varieties as well as the best of the new Primulinus group.
