Gladi 



o us 



No flower has gained more rapidly in public favor than the 

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

 its great decorative value, it is hardy and blooms the first season 

 from bulbs. 



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

 They require full sunlight and are liable to injury only from 

 rank manure. Plant the bulbs 6 to 9 inches apart, the large 

 ones 4 inches and the small ones 2 inches deep. Make an 

 early planting of the smallest bulbs first as soon as the ground is 

 sufficiently dry and warm. Continue to plant at intervals of 2 I 

 weeks during the spring and early summer; in this way there 

 ": will be a succession of bloom from midsummer until frost. A 

 Jk, free use of water during the season of active growth, particu- 

 larly as the buds begin to show color, will be beneficial in 

 producing fine blossoms.
