LEONARD’S GLADIOLUS 
A great favorite because of its beauty, ease of culture and adaptability to almost all soils. Gladioli will do well 
in any good soil that has been well fertilized, except heavy clay. Bulbs should be planted 6 to 8 inches apart and 
4 inches deep as soon as the ground is dry and warm. Follow this with a planting every 2 weeks until early sum¬ 
mer for a succession of blooms until frost. You will find a full range of colors in the following list at most rea¬ 
sonable prices:
