Plant Manns' Gladioli Bulbs. They are strictly 1% inch 

 or more in diameter, sound, true to name, and can be abso- 

 lutely depended upon to produce large, beautiful well-formed 

 blooms. 



Cultural Suggestions: Set bulbs 4 inches deep and 6 

 inches apart, either in rows or massed in beds, borders or 

 among shrubbery. Successive plantings from April to July 

 will bloom from July until frost. They will thrive in any 

 good garden soil, but a sunny location is best. Cultivate 

 frequently and water freely while blooms are forming.
