Gladioli have their place in every garden. The bulbs should be 
set so that the top is about two inches below the surface and 
spaced from six to eight inches apart. It makes the most stately 
of cut flowers and if picked when the first flowers open, it will 
continue to flower clear to the tip and last a long time. The
