Nicholson’s Summer-Flowering Qladiolus 
Every flower garden, large or small, should make a liberal planting of Gladiolus. The keeping quality of the 
blooms, as well as the wide array of colors, will more than pay you for your trouble. Wonderful improvement has 
taken place the last few years as to size, color and beauty of flowers. 
To have a continuance of blooms, plant some bulbs every few weeks during the early spring. The following va¬ 
rieties we have found to give best results in Texas.
