GLADIOLUS BULBS 
ALL LARGE FLOWERING BULBS, 
The Gladiolus is rapidly coming to be the universal flower for outdoor culture, cer- 
tainly one of the most satisfactory to grow, and any good soil suits them. 
Plant the bulbs as soon as all danger from frost is past, about 4 inches deep and 6 to 
8 inches apart. By planting at intervals up to the first of July, these fine flowers can 
be had in bloom all through the Summer and Fall, the later flowers being the best. 
About the end of October, when the leaves begin to wither, the bulbs should be taken 
up, dried in the open air, and then stored in a dry place, where they will not be touched 
by frost but kept cool.
