Bolgiano's Bulbs for Spring Planting 



Bolgiano's Magnificent Gladioli 



A group of these gorgeous "glads" in your garden at some conspicuous iwint will certainly 

 aid in making your garden dream come true. If you have a shrubbery border that needs 

 livening up, plant groups of Gladioli Bulbs evei-y two weeks from April 15 until July 1, and 

 you will have bright masses of color all summer. 



THE WAY TO PLANT. Dig the row or bed from 8 to 10 inches deep, then spread a liberal 

 amount of good fertilizer in the bottom of the row or bed, then rake it in thoroughly before 

 planting your bulbs. The bulbs after being planted should then be covered from 4 to 6 inches 

 deep. Plant 6 inches apart. Just as soon as they show their heads through the ground, they 

 should be cultivated. If this is continued once a week till they commence to flower, one will 

 be sure of first-class results.
