SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS— Continued 
GLADIOLA BULBS 
The Gladiolus will grow and thrive in almost any 
kind of soil, but should have full exposure to the 
sun. It will stand more dry weather than most 
flowers. See that the plants have plenty of water 
when they first appear above the ground and later 
when the flower spikes begin to show color. Keep 
them free from weeds and they will require no further 
care. . i 
They make a fine show when planted in masses 
and also make excellent and beautiful cut flowers.
