Gladiolus 
The “Glad” has long been the favorite cut-flower of all who appreciate fine flowers. They 
will produce a bountiful supply of cut-flowers in a small space with a minimum expense of 
time and effort. To enjoy these exquisite blooms for the longest possible season, make four 
plantings each year—about the first of April, May. June, and July. Culture is easy, merely 
placing the bulbs about 4 inches below the surface in well-prepared soil, and allowing at least 
6 inches of space for each bulb.
