PAMPHLET ON GLADIOLI- T A "TiTr\T T 



CULTURE FREE \Jt Lj£\LJl\J JL/JL 



Summer-flowering bulbs of the very easiest culture and with a wide range of color. Elegant 



for the garden or beautiful for cut-flower purposes. For the latter use they should be cut 

 when the first flower opens, the balance of buds will develop when spikes are placed in water 

 and thus greatly prolong the blooming term. Plantings may be made every two weeks to 

 provide for a succession. We offer the leading mixtures and excellent named varieties.
