"OREGON GROWN GLADIOLUS” 
Once again we offer to our patrons, number one, Diamond 
Quality Gladiolus at unusually low prices. Diamond Qual¬ 
ity means the best to be had. In buying these bulbs you 
are certain of receiving only the best varieties in the larger 
sizes. 
For lovely Gladiolus it is best to prepare your bed care¬ 
fully before planting. Work Peat Moss and Vigoro into the 
soil well, then plant the bulbs and keep the soil quite moist. 
After the plants start growing above the ground, it is 
advisable to water only after sundown. This prevents the 
hot sun from absorbing moisture, fragrance and color from 
these lovely flowers.
