GLADIOLUS 
Few summer flowering bulbous plants have enjoyed 
such consistent increasing interest and well deserved 
favor as have these late flowering Gladiolus. They 
are unequalled garden and cut flower subjects in 
view of the wealth of gorgeous blooms they produce. 
Gladiolus will do well in almost any good soil except 
a stiff clay. Plant bulbs 6-9 inches apart and cover 
twice the depth of the bulb, generally 4 inches deep 
for the largest and about 2 inches deep for the smaller 
bulbs. Make the first early planting of the smallest 
bulbs in the spring, as soon as the ground is suffi¬ 
ciently dry and warm. If successive plantings are 
made every two weeks, flowers may be had from 
early summer until frost. The plants should be 
watered freely, particularly when the buds begin to 
show color, as steady, vigorous growth is essential in 
obtaining the choicest blossoms. 
We supply only first-class No. 1 bulbs.
