B* S* & B* Co/s 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 location. 



Plant any time from mid-April to ihe 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. "WTien the tops are dry, cut them off about % inch from the bulb and remove 

 the old bulb from the bottom and discard. Store in a cool dry place where the tempera- 

 ture does not go below freezing.
