BULBS AND ROOTS 
Gladiolus, Chicago White 
GLADIOLI 
The wonderful results which our customers are having with our Northern 
grown Gladioli, have led us to increase our stocks and enlarge our list, adding 
many new varieties, selected from hundreds of old’ and new introductions, which 
have been found to be the most desirable sorts. Beauty of form and color, height, 
substance, number of blooms open at once and keeping quality, have been de- 
termining factors upon which we have judged and made selections. 
Plant Manns’ Gladioli Bulbs. They are strictly 114 inch or more in diameter, 
sound, true to name, and can be absolutely 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 will bloom from July until frost. They will thrive in any good 
garden soil, but a sunny location is best. Cultivate frequently and water freely 
while blooms are forming.
