GLADIOLUS 
The Mo»t Charming Flower in Cultivation 
— Stately and Attractive— Easy 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 fer- 
tile garden soil. Plant as early in the spring 
as ground 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 
lor 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 cultiva lln^, 
which should be done at least once a week. 
Water tretly, if possible, this insures more 
continuous flowering.; Lift the bulbs in the 
fall, dry thoroughly, and store in dry, warm 
place until spring again. These multiply 
ill 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- 
lieties comprises the best standard reliable 
sorts that we recommend will please you. 
All good healthv well propagated bulbs that 
we guarantee will produce large spikes of 
beautiful flowers.
