PLANTING DIRECTIONS 
Gladioli are easy to grow. Plant them in com plant¬ 
ing time. 
In mellow soil plant large bulbs about five inches 
deep and small bulbs around three inches deep- In heavy 
soil do not plant so deep. 
When cutting blooms leave three or four leaves—the 
more the better. Dig the bulbs when the leaves have lost 
their lustre. Cut the tops off close to the bulb then or 
a few weeks later. 
After four or five weeks the old bulb and root can be 
easily removed. Save the bulblets that grow around the 
bulb and in the spring sow them thickly in a trench about 
two inches deep, after having soaked them for three days 
or remove a small part of the husk. 
Planting a mixture is the first stage in growing glads. 
The final stage is planting named varieties—keeping them 
seperate and gradually adding other varieties. 
Just as well to start right.
