Culture— Giadioli are of the 

 simplest culture. Plant at any 

 time from April to July, in any 

 fairly good soil, well spaded. 

 Set in rows three inches apart, 

 or in masses six inches apart 

 each way. Plant in full sun, if 

 possible, and keep down weeds. 

 They bloom from July to Octo- 

 ber. After fall frost, lift the 

 bulbs and after removing the 

 tops let them dry two or three 

 weeks under cover. After re- 

 moving the roots store them in 

 a cool, dry place, away from 

 frost, for planting the following 

 spring.
