Supreme Gladiolus 



Loveliest of Summer-blooming bulbous 

 flowers for cutting, and also very effective 

 when used in mixed borders and among 

 shrubbery. Gladiolus are very easy to grow, 

 and, while fertile soil will give best results, 

 they will thrive and bloom in practically 

 any garden soil, if planted in a sunny loca- 

 tion. 



Plant any time from mid-April to the end 

 of June; in fact, we advise that planting be 

 extended over this entire period, so that a 

 succession of bloom may be had from July 

 until frost. Plant bulbs 4 to 5 inches deep, 

 6 to 8 inches apart. Cultivate frequently, 

 but not too deeply, during the growing sea- 

 son, and stake when 12 inches high.
