I plant groups of Gladioli Bulbs every two vreeks from April 15 until July 1, and you will 

 jave blight masses of color all summer. 



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

 .-'jnount of good fertilizer in the bottom of the row or bed, then rake it in thoroughly before 

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

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

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

 le sure of first-class results.

Wonderful plants for lawns, borders or backgrounds. They will grow- 

 in any garden soil and are no trouble at all. To obtain the maximum 

 growth they should be planted in rich soil where they will get plenty 

 of water. A full-size plant will stand six feet high and bear immense 

 leaves three to four feet long by twenty-seven inches wide. They should 

 not be planted outdoors until May 1, but to get them into early growth
