Supreme Gladiolus 



Loveliest of summer-blooming bulbous flowers for cut- 

 ting, and also very effective vv^hen 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 

 location. 



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 

 season, and stake when 12 inches high. 



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 one-half inch from the bulb and 

 remove the old bulb from the bottom and discard. Store in 

 a cool, dry place where the temperature does not go 

 below freezing.
