GLADIOLI 



This class of summer flowering bulbs is doubly valuable for the brave field show of bloom, 

 and for its generous supply of cut flowers. G ladiolus flowers last longer when cut than most 

 any other flowers, and develop in water to a greater perfection than if left on the plant. Any 

 rich, light garden soil will grow Gladioli if p roperly worked in preparation and exposed to the 

 benefit of full sunlight. Bulbs should be plant ed from the middle of April on into May through- 

 out the Northern States, a second planting af ter two or three weeks ensuing a more even 

 succession of bloom.
