Most popular of all summer-flowering bulbous plants 
Field of Gladiolus growing on our Farms. Here the Long Island soil produces Gladiolus bulbs of strong vitality. 
Few of the Summer-flowering Bulbous Plants have met with the same increased interest that Gladiolus have in the past ten years. Their 
adaptability for the garden or cut-flower use during summer and autumn months is not surpassed by any other bulbous plant. 
Care oj Dormant Bulbs. On Gladiolus corms which our clients desire to hold for successive planting from May 1 until July, it is 
suggested that those required for early summer planting be kept in air-tight containers in a cool place. Some of our patrons who plant 
Gladiolus July 15 for September flowers, order these bulbs in the springtime. These are stored in our cold-storage warehouse in April and are 
kept in first-class condition for planting in the summer. In the latitude of New York, July 15 is the latest advisable time to plant.
