Gladioli 



Loveliest of summer-blooming bulbous flowers 

 for cutting, and also very effective when used in 

 mixed borders and among shrubbery. Gladioli 

 are very easy to grow, and, while fertile, moist 

 soil will give best results, they will thrive and 

 bloom in practically any garden soil. 



Plant any time from mid-April to the end of 

 June; in fact, we advise that planting be ex- 

 tended over this entire period, so that a suc- 

 cession 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 season. 



Before the ground freezes in the fall, dig the 

 bulbs and let them dry in the sun for several 

 days. When the tops are dry, cut them off 

 about Kinch from the bulb and remove the old 

 bulb from the bottom. Store in a cool, dry place 

 where the temperature does not go below 

 freezing.
