GLADIOLUS 
Twelve Splendid Named Varieties 
Gladiolus are so inexpensive, so easily grown and so beautiful, both 
in the garden and as cut flowers, that it is difficult to understand the 
general lack of interest in them. 
CULTURE.—^Any good soil is suitable and unlike most flowering 
bulbs in this climate, they not only do not deteriorate, but on the other 
hand, increase rapidly. Planting may be done at any time in April, May 
or June, the bulbs being set about three inches under the surface. As 
supports will be needed for the flowers, it is a good plan to put a dozen 
or more in a group around one stake, tying the stalks loosely to it. In 
the South the bulbs are best left in the ground and covered with litter 
for the winter.
