How to Plant and Care for Gladioli 
stock should be obtained that is full of vigor, not large flat worn-out conns which 
will prove worthless in the end. 
Soil should be of ordinary strength only, manures are very injurious if allowed to 
come in contact with either the roots or the corm, soil should be turned to a depth of 
eight inches and well pulverized. 
Set the conns right side up in a trench 5 to 6 inches deep and 6 inches apart. Keep 
the soil porous by frequent stirrings, a hoe will be found the best tool for this work. 
Water frequently after plants begin to grow, this can not be overdone when plants 
begin to bloom, provided the ground is kept in a porous condition. 
Stakes should be provided as supports for the flowering spikes which may be ruined 
by wind or rain. 
Corms should be taken up before hard frosts and dried out in the shade, they can 
then be stored in a cool dry cellar and planted out again the following spring. 
Soil should be prepared in the fall and a secondary stirring given In the spring before 
planting. 
The cormels or offsets which are found around the old corm should be planted also, 
it is from this source that the best and strongest corms originate.
