SELECTED STRAINS OF SEEDS ADAPTED TO SOUTHERN SOILS AND CLIMATE 
HOWARD’S LOVELY GLADIOLUS 
(Northern grown bulbs ready November 10th) 
(Southern grown bulbs ready August 15th) 
GLADIOLUS are one of the easiest flowers to grow— 
for, once planted, the only attention required is to 
keep the bed free from weeds. To have a continuous 
supply of these charming flowers throughout the 
summer, several plantings should be made at inter¬ 
vals commencing the first week in January until the 
last week in July. Plant the bulbs 4 inches deep and 
6 inches apart. If fed with a weak solution of liquid 
fertilizer when the flowers are in bud, the blossoms 
will be much larger and more attractive.
