GLADIOLI 
All extra-selected, large corms, no second size 
Price by the dozen and hundred are prepaid, 
larger quantities at purchaser’s expense. 6 bulbs 
furnished at dozen rates. 50 at 100 rates. 
Gladioli are very easily grown. Any good soil 
suits them. Plant the corms as soon as all danger 
from frost is past, about 3 inches deep and 7 
or 3 inches apart. By planting at intervals up 
to July 1, these fine flowers can be had in bloom 
all through the summer and fall, the later flowers 
being the best. About the end of October, when 
the leaves begin to wither, the corms should be 
taken up, dried in the open air, and then stored 
in a dry place, free from frost, for planting next 
spring.
