Grown 
'J his class of summer flowering bulbs makes one of the most impos¬ 
ing and most gorgeous of displays. They make a brilliant show of 
held bloom and supply a generous mass of cut flowers. Gladioli, when 
cut, develop to a fine perfection in water and last longer than most 
other cut flowers. Grow best in rich, light soil exposed to plenty of 
sunlight, and the stately flowers alongside the house or massed in 
beds, produce a beautifully attractive and brilliant array. Set bulbs 
2 to 3 inches deep and 2 inches apart in drills; in beds about 4 inche.s 
apart each way. l>eaflet, “How To Grow Gladioli,” sent free upon 
request.

>\ere the largest and best matured buibs I ever bought for the money/* 
Mrs. D. Van Gerpen, Box C. Hartsburg, Ill., writes, “The Gladioli and
