Bulbs for Spring Planting. 
GLADIOLUS. 
The most attractive and best known of all summer-flowering bulbs. The 
■wonderful improvements made in size, color and general beauty in the past 
few years are amazing, when compared with the varieties of several years 
ago. They are of the easiest culture and succeed in almost any soil. They 
should be planted as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring and for 
a succession of Dloom, at intervals of two weeks until the middle of June. 
The bulbs should be taken up in the fall as soon as the tops have been 
killed with the frost and stored in a dry frost-proof cellar until spring.
