The Most Charming Flower in Cultivation 
— Stately and Attractive— Ea»y of Culture 
"To know them is to love them." Every 
yard should have at least a few choice Gladi- 
olus. They succeed nicely in any good ler- 
tile garden soil. Plant as early in the spring 
as gf-ound can be worked and for succession 
of bloom set at intervals of two weeks. 
Bulbs set six inches deep require a few more 
days to come up, but more than repay you 
for waiting, as they form a deep root sys- 
tem retaining moisture which furnishes more 
stalk growth and larger and more perfect 
flowers. Set in rows of solid beds eight to 
ten inches apart, to allow for cultivatins;. 
u hich should be done at least once a week. 
Water freely, if possible, this insures more 
couUiiUous flowering. Lift the bulbs in the 
i:ill. dry thoroughly, and store in dry, warm 
place until spring ;i45ain. These multiply 
in the ground and you can separate the 
small seedlings from the mother plant, grow 
them on the following year and in that way 
increase your supply. Our list of named va- 
ri.'lies comprises the best standard reliable 
.■sorts that we recommend will please you. 
All good healthy well propagated bulbs that 
wfr guarantee will produce large spikes of 
beautiful flowers.
