BUCHANAN’S GLADIOLUS BULBS 
CULTURE—What a wonderful stride the Gladiolus has made during recent years. Its popularity today is exceeded by few other flowers, and it has by 
no means reached its limit. And there are good reasons for this popularity. Failure with it has never been known. Gladiolus will grow in any open position, 
where there is a fair amount of sun, and bloom well. They are not only showy in the garden, but, when cut with the first flower open will last for 10 days in 
the house. The newer colorings defy the choicest orchids. Plant bulbs 3 to 4 inches deep, 6 inches apart and stake when 2 feet high. Flowers appear from 
early July until late in the fall.
