Summer-Flowering Bulbs and 
Roots 
SCHLING'S MODERN GLADIOLI 
This group contains the most notable hybrids of the Gandavensis and Lemoinei classes, 
as well as all standard and new introductions of American origin of proven merit Our 
bulbs are guaranteed first-class and true to name. We recommend large plantings of Gla- 
dioli m the garden; there is scarcely another flower more easily grown. No other attention 
is required after planting, except to keep the beds clear of weeds and to give support to 
some oi the heavier spikes. Even this is not necessary if the bulbs are planted deep enough. 
Almost every color and shade can be found among Gladioli, and their graceful flower- 
spikes are beautiful m the garden, in vases, or in baskets. Clumps from six to twelve of a 
kind scattered here and there through the hardy border or in front of shrubbery will be 
very effective, and many a corner in the garden can be made exceedingly bright by their 
presence. .The mam planting of Gladiolus bulbs should be made the latter part of April, or 
the first part of May, and additional plantings 
every three weeks until July 1, to secure a 
succession of bloom until frost.
