GLADIOLUS. What: (.he tulip is lor spring in bulbous plants, the Gladioli arc 
for suinnier. As garden flowers the)' are tall and stately, and their varied colors allow 
a selection for any color scheme, while at the same time they seem to blend pleasingly 
in mixture. They make most exccllcnl cut-llowers, and can be brought on when flowers 
for culling are not too plentiful. 
'riic\- siKjuld be planletl in a well-worked and well- 
c wvi v a choice, il would be a good, 
'> seem lo do excellently in almost 
(hail 6 inches apart and cover 
the bulbs about 3 ijiches 
deep. A poijular plan 
used in 1 he East is to 
plant 12 inches apart, 
and a little later to i^lant 
a bulb between each of 
the first-planted lot. This 
gives a much longer suc- 
cession of bloom. 
In any case, they had 
better be planted in suc- 
cession and about two 
weeks apart. Some 
may be planted in the 
winter for early llower- 
ing, while later plant- 
ing should begin abotit 
March i and can con- 
tinue until June, and, 
with any sort of cold 
storage, imtil Septem- 
ber. 
If you have never 
grown Gladioli, grow- 
some now. They are well 
worth space in any garden.
