FERRY'S SEEDS 



GLADIOLUS 



The Gladiolus is one of the most decorative plants in the gar- 

 den and as a cut flower lends itself readily to any arrangement. 

 If the spikes are cut when the lowest flower is in bloom , the others 

 will open in succession and remain fresh a week or ten days. 

 No flower has gained more rapidly in public favor than the 

 Gladiolus; this could not well be otherwise, for in addition to the 

 great intrinsic merit of the flower, it is hardy and blooms the 

 first season from bulbs. 



GladioU will thrive in almost any good soil except a stiff clay. 

 They require full sunhght and are hable to injury only from 

 rank manure. Plant the bulbs six to nine inches apart, the large 

 ones four inches and the small ones two inches deep. Make an 

 early planting of the smallest bulbs first as soon as the gi'ound is 

 sufficiently dry and warm. Continue to plant at intervals of two 

 weeks during the spring and early summer; in this way a suc- 

 cession of bloom may be had from midsummer until frost. A 

 free use of water during the season of active growth and par- 

 ticularly as the buds begin to show color will be beneficial in 

 producing fine blossoms.
