Gladiolus Bulbs 63 
Templin-Bradley's Famous Gladiolus 
A Rainbow of Color for Your Garden 
Do you realize the garden and cut-flower possibilities stored up in the easy to grow Gladiolus Bulbs? 
There is a wealth of color and beauty in the tall, straight spikes of wide open, wonderfully marked 
flowers, which last so long and make such ideal bouquets. 
We started producing our own Gladiolus bulbs in 1915 and in these twenty years many new and un¬ 
usual varieties have been hybridized so that today it is possible for you to till your garden with Glads 
of every color of the rainbow, except of course green which is supplied in the long graceful leaves. 
You will want to order many of the carefully selected varieties listed here to make your garden a riot 
of color and to have plenty of cut-flowers for your house and for your shut-in friends.

CULTURE: Plant the bulbs or “corms” as they are called, in trenches or in holes about six inches deep and from 
six to eight inches apart, covering them with loose fine earth, pressing it down well around the bulb. Gladiolus bulbs 
do well in any good, well drained garden soil, providing it is in a sunny location. Plant the first bulbs right after 
the last frost in the spring, plant more every two weeks until July 1st and you will have flowers from mid-July until 
the first frost next Fall.
