Qladiolus for Summer Flowers 
Gladiolus are probably the most popular of summer and fall 
blooming bulbs. By planting as soon as danger of frost is over 
and at intervals of two weeks you can have gladiolus all sum¬ 
mer. They are easily grown, seldom troubled with insects or 
diseases, and increase rapidly. Plant 3 to 6 in. apart. Instruc¬ 
tions for growing and increasing your stock will be sent with 
the bulbs. 
Please Notice we Quote by Size 
“Blooming size’’ doesn’t mean much, because 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 
4th and 5th size will bloom, though the smaller sizes give 
smaller flowers and smaller spikes than the larger sizes. First 
size is 1 p2 inches and over in diameter; 2nd size 124 inches; 
3rd size 1 inch; 4th size 24 inch; 5th size J/2 inch.

A strong, deep loam that will retain moisture, tending toward 
clay rather than sand, is best. If properly tended they may be 
planted 2x6 ft., 3 600 per acre. 
Early Harvest —Medium size but juicy, sweet, and valuable

A home is not complete until the grounds are made as livable 
as the house itself. Planted early, trees and shrubs will have 
more time to develop their beauty and charm.
