EXTRA LARGE 

 HEALTHY BULBS 



Plant ffioups of Gladioli Bulbs every 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.
