Select Gladiolus 
Gladioli, by Parcel Post, add 5c i>or doz. 
Culture: The Gladiolus is one of the most decorative plants in the garden, and as a cut flower lends 
itself readily to any arrangement. If the spikes are cut when the lowest flower is in bloom, the others will 
open in succession and remain fresh a week or 10 days. Gladioli will thrive in almost any good soil except 
a stiff clay. They require full sunlight and are liable to injury only from rank manure. Plant the bulbs 6 
to 9 inches apart, the large ones 4 inches and the small ones 2 inches deep.
