CULTURE: Plant the bulbs or “conns” as they are called, in trenches or in holes about six inches deep and from 
six to eight inches apart, covering them with loose fine earth, pressing it down well around the bulb. Gladiolus bulbs 
do well in any good, well drained garden soil, providing it is in a sunny location. Plant the first bulbs right after 
the last frost in the spring, plant more every two weeks until July let and you will have flowers from mid-July until 
the first frost next Fall.
