Most popular of all summer-flowering bulbous plants 
No flower has gained more rapidly in 
public favor than the Gladiolus; this 
could not well be otherwise, for in addi¬ 
tion to its great decorative value, it is 
hardy and blooms the first season from 
bulbs. 
Gladioli will thrive in almost any good 
soil except a stiff clay. They require full 
sunlight and are liable to injury only 
from rank manure. Plant the bulbs 6 to 
9 inches apart, the large ones 4 inches 
and the small ones 2 inches deep. Make 
an early planting of the smallest bulbs 
first as soon as the ground is sufficiently 
dry and warm. Continue to plant at in¬ 
tervals of 2 weeks during the spring and 
early summer; in this way there will be 
a succession of bloom from midsummer 
until frost. A free use of water during 
the season of active growth, particularly 
as the buds begin to show color, will be 
beneficial in producing fine blossoms. All 
our Gladiolus bulbs have been treated 
against thrip.
