\V. H. Phipps 
GLADIOLUS 
For general garden decoration and for cut flowers the Gladiolus is deserving of 
special attention. Very effective for massing in large beds where a brilliant effect 
is desired. Of easiest culture, seldom disappointing and immune to insect pests. 
They thrive in well prepared, enriched loam, planted 3 inches deep and 6 inches 
apart. Frequent watering is very beneficial. We stock first size bulbs only. Six 
bulbs offered at the dozen rate.
