Plant Manns' Gladioli Bulbs. They are strictly 1% inches 

 or more in diameter, sound, true to name, and can be abso- 

 lutely depended upon to produce large, beautiful well-formed 

 blooms. 



Cultural Suggestions: Set bulbs 4 inches deep and 6 

 inches apart, either in rows or massed in beds, borders or 

 among shrubbery. Successive plantings from April to July

 frequently and water freely while blooms are forming.
