Gladiolus 
Among the summer flowering bulbs the Gladiolus has few. If any, equals. They are easily satisfied, 
both as to soil and location, doing equally well in beds, rows or interspersed among small shrubbery. Good 
cultivation is desired, but heavy fertilizing should be avoided. 
The following groups represent the best 
of both new and old varieties. These are

NOT PREPAID BEYOND THE 
3RD ZONE (300 MUES). 
Fine, hardy plants, rivaling the 
rose in perfection of bloom, color 
and fragrance. They are at home 
in any climate or soil, but thrive 
best In a deep, rich, well-drained 
loam. They make a gorgeous dis- 
play planted in beds, on the lawn, 
or planted singly along the walk 
or herbaceous border. The Peony 
Is perfectly hardy and generally 
able to care for itself, but it docs 
not follow that they enjoy neg- 
lect. Give them ample room in 
which to grow, keeping them free 
from weeds and grass, and they 
will amply repay all the care 
given. A word to beginners: 
Don't be alarmed when you see 
your newly set Peonies begin to 
turn brown in July and appear to 
be quite dead in August. This 
is natural. They will bo on hand 
again in the spring. 
The following varieties em- 
brace a wide range of color and 
will be found very satisfactory.
