Forbes Gladiolus Bulbs 
For charm and color, few other flowers compare with Gladiolus. They can be grown 
with very little effort as they thrive in ordinary garden soil. The tall green stems, fairly 
bursting with brilliant color, provide a luxuriance of rainbow beauty. For cut-flowers. 
Gladiolus are unexcelled. Mass them together in solid beds, plant them in borders, and 
among shrubbery. With successive planting from April through June, they will bloom 
from July until frost. Plant bulbs 4 inches deep and 4 inches apart, watering freely.
