GLADIOLUS. 
The gladiolus stands at the head of all our summer-flowering bulbs. It grows well in any good, well-drained 
soil, if given full sunlight, and needs little care beyond keeping down weeds about it and supporting its rich 
spikes of flowers. At the north bulbs must be dug, dried and stored in some warm, dry place after frost, r or 
wintering over. At the south the bulbs are simply covered with a heavy mulch of leaves or fertilizer. By plant- 
ing at intervals from May 1 to June 15 a succession of flowers can be had from July to October. Our unnamed 
seedlings are unusually fine, and comprise every shade of color, from creamy white through different shades of 
pink and scarlet to bright crimson. Assorted, 5, 10 and 15 cts.
