  The 
  Gladiolus 
  is 
  by 
  far 
  the 
  most 
  attractive 
  

   and 
  easily 
  grown 
  Summer 
  Bloomer. 
  They 
  

   are 
  not 
  only 
  showy 
  in 
  the 
  garden, 
  but 
  when 
  

   cut 
  with 
  the 
  first 
  flower 
  open, 
  they 
  will 
  last 
  

   for 
  10 
  days 
  in 
  the 
  house. 
  The 
  newer 
  color- 
  

   ings 
  defy 
  the 
  choicest 
  orchids. 
  The 
  Gladi- 
  

   olus 
  is 
  growing 
  in 
  popularity 
  every 
  year 
  and 
  

   has 
  been 
  well 
  named 
  "The 
  Peoples 
  Flower." 
  

   Failure 
  with 
  this 
  flower 
  is 
  unknown 
  as 
  they 
  

   will 
  grow 
  in 
  any 
  open 
  position 
  and 
  bloom 
  

   well. 
  Any 
  fairly 
  good 
  garden 
  will 
  grow 
  

   Gladiolus. 
  Plant 
  the 
  bulbs 
  4 
  inches 
  deep 
  

   and 
  6 
  inches 
  apart. 
  Planted 
  at 
  intervals 
  

   from 
  April 
  to 
  June 
  will 
  afford 
  a 
  success- 
  

   sion 
  of 
  blooms 
  from 
  July 
  until 
  Frost. 
  They 
  

   are 
  very 
  effective 
  when 
  planted 
  in 
  clusters 
  

   among 
  Shrubs, 
  Roses 
  and 
  Peonies. 
  Our

  The

  of 
  Flowers. 
  Hardy 
  Everywhere 
  

  

  Once 
  planted, 
  the 
  plants 
  and 
  flower'3 
  increase 
  in 
  size 
  and 
  beauty 
  

   with 
  age. 
  They 
  are 
  as 
  hardy 
  as 
  oaks 
  and 
  as 
  handsome 
  (many 
  as 
  frag- 
  

   rant) 
  as 
  roses. 
  The 
  plants 
  are 
  practically 
  immune 
  from 
  insects. 
  

   Paeonies 
  may 
  be 
  planted

  spring 
  months 
  and 
  from 
  

   September 
  1 
  to 
  October 
  10. 
  An 
  important 
  point 
  to 
  observe 
  is 
  not 
  

   to 
  plant 
  too 
  deeply. 
  The 
  roots 
  should 
  be 
  placed 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  crowns 
  

   (or 
  eyes) 
  are 
  covered 
  with 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  inches 
  of 
  soil. 
  Planting 
  

   too 
  deep 
  is 
  often 
  the 
  cause 
  of 
  shy 
  blooming. 
  We 
  use 
  great 
  care 
  in 
  

   the

  of 
  our 
  Paeonies,
