For general garden decoration and for cut flowers the 
Gladiolus is deserving of special attention. Very effective 
for massing in large beds where a brilliant effect is de¬ 
sired. Of easiest culture, seldom disappointing and im¬ 
mune to insect pests. They thrive in well prepared, 
enriched loam, planted 3 inches deep and 6 inches 
apart. Frequent watering is very beneficial. We stock 
first size bulbs only. Six bulbs offered at the dozen rate. 
Albatross. Very large pure white on tall 
spike of good standing.
