Gladiolus 
The culture of the Gladiolus is one of the easiest. Set the 
bulbs about 3 inches deep and 7 or 8 inches apart each way. 
Any good garden soil will make strong plants and good bloom, 
but for the finest results use manure and plenty of water. 
After the flowers are past, dig the bulbs up and dry them 
under cover in the open air for a month and then store in dry 
soil till next winter, when they may be reset. From December 
to April are the months in which to plant Gladiolus.
