HOWARD’S LOVELY 
GLADIOLI 
Gladioli are one of the easiest flowers to grow— 
for, once planted, the only attention required is to 
keep the bed free from weeds. To have a continuous 
supply of these charming flowers throughout the 
summer, several plantings should be made at inter¬ 
vals commencing the first week in January until the 
last week in July. Plant the bulbs 4 inches deep and 
6 inches apart. If fed with a weak solution of liquid 
fertilizer when the flowers are in bud, the blossoms 
will be much larger and more attractive.
