Burliank Gigantic Gladiolus (actual size) 
ined the stocks of those grown by practi- 
cally all the great American and Euro- 
pean growers. These new ones are a 
revelation in this; the most varied, the 
most popular and most easily grown of 
all bulbous plants. The new Burbank 
Gladiolus thrives exceedingly well, grow- 
ing with vigor and freedom from fungus 
diseases which is very unusual. The grow- 
ing season is so long that the bulbs never 
need to be disturbed until fully ripened. 
Mr. Burbank says his New Twentieth 
Century Gladioli is one of the most im- 
portant developments in bulb flowers in 
many years. 
Cultural Notes 
Plant Gladiolus bulbs five to six inches 
deep and three to six inches apart in the 
rows or beds, in cold northern climates 
from April to July, in California, in any 
season when most convenient.
