EASY TO GROW 
Gladioli have become the most popular of all 
summer flowers, because of their beauty, ease of 
culture and usefulness. By making a succession 
of plantings, two weeks apart, flowers may be 
had from the middle of July to frost. 
CULTURE—Any good garden soil will grozv 
Gladioli provided they are planted in a sunny lo¬ 
cation. The bulbs should be set 4-5 inches deep 
and at least 6 inches apart. Keep the soil loose 
and friable by frequent and thorough cultivation.
