GLADIOLUS 
The Gladiolus is the most attractive and useful of cut flowers 
of all the summer flowering bulbs. The long, graceful spikes, 
that carry fifteen to twenty buds, may be cut as soon as the first 
lower buds show color; then kept in water, each successive bud 
will develop and thus prolong the blooming many days. 
The planting season starts in April and continues until in June. 
By a succession of plantings at intervals of two weeks, you will 
have flowers from late July until frost time. 
Our present list gives you the very cream of quality.
