SUMMER-FLOWERING 
BULBS AND PLANTS 
GLADIOLI 
The Grand New Pink Gladiolus 
** AMERICA” 
The most beautiful gladiolus yet introduced; spikes two 
to three feet long, erect with a great number of spreading 
blossoms of a color the delicacy and beauty of which it is 
impossible to describe or reproduce. It is an exquisite soft 
lavender pink, very light, almost a tinted white, approaching 
clasely the marvelous shading seen only in an orchid. As a 
cut flower, it lasts in water a week or more, the great blossoms 
retaining full size and delicate coloring. Strong flowering 
bulbs, 20 cts. each, $2.00 per dozen. 

HOW TO GROW GLADIOLI 
They succeed in any ordinary garden soil and will repay any care in cultivation bestowed on them. 
The ground should be liberally enriched and dug over to a depth of fifteen to eighteen inches. Plant in 
the open garden from April until June, setting the bulbs seven or eight inches apart and about four 
inches deep. By planting at intervals up to the first of July, bloom can be hadall through the summer 
and fall. About the end of October, when the leaves begin to wither, the bulbs should be taken up, dried in 
the open air and stored in a dry place, free from frost, until planting time the next season.
