Cultural Directions 
Plant the bulbs 6 inches deep in good 
garden soil. For exhibition flowers, use 
Sheep Manure or a mixture of Wood-Ashes 
and Ground Bone; for general effect, no 
extra fertilizing is needed. Gladiolus may be 
planted as soon as the ground is ready in 
Spring, and continuous blooms may be 
obtained by periodic plantings until the 
middle of July. When the tops are brown, 
lift bulbs and store in a cool, dry place over 
Winter. Full information on request.
