(If wanted by mail, add 10 cents per dozen for postage.) 

 The most attractive of all summer flowering bulbs are the Gladioli. 

 Wonderful improvements have been made in recent years in the size 

 and beauty of these flowers, and our list comprises only the best 

 selections, both in our mixtures and named sorts. Their cultivation 

 is very simple, as they will thrive in any ordinary garden soil, but 

 amply repay care and liberal feeding by enhanced size and beauty. 

 A succession of bloom may be had from July to September by plant- 

 ing at intervals from April to June. The strongest bulbs should be 

 kept for the latest planting. Plant six inches apart in beds or double 

 rows, and three inches deep. They are very effective when planted 

 among roses, shrubbery, etc In the fall, before frost, the bulbs should 

 be lifted, dried and stored in a cellar or some other position away from 

 frost, for planting again the following spring.
