The Gladiolus is the most beautiful of the 
tender summer-flowering bulbs, with spikes 
of all desirable colors of flower, some two 
feet in height. If cut when the lower flow- 
ers only are open, they will remain in good 
order, opening fully, for several weeks. By 
planting the bulbs at intervals of two weeks 
from April to July, a grand succesion of 
bloom can be had until hard frosts close the 
ground. After the frost has cut them down 
lift the bulbs and store away in a dry cellar. 
We offer large bulbs that are certain to give 
fine results.
