EASY TO GROW 
Gladioli have become the most popular of 
all summer flowers, because of their beauty, 
ease of culture and usefulness. By making 
a succession of plantings, 
two weeks apart, flowers 
may be had from the mid¬ 
dle of July to frost. 
CULTURE — Any good 
garden soil _ will grow 
Gladioli provided they are 
planted m a sunny loca¬ 
tion. The bulbs should be 
set 4-5 inches deep and at 
least 6 inches apart. Keep 
the soil loose and friable 
by frequent and thorough 
cultivation.
