GLADIOLUS— 
Of the Newest 
Varieties and 
Choicest Colors 
No flower has gained more rapidly in public favor than the 
Gladiolus; this could not well be otherwise, for in addition to 
its great decorative value, it is hardy and blooms the first 
season from bulbs. 
Gladioli will thrive in almost any good soil except a stiff 
clay. They require full sunlight and are liable to injury only 
from rank manure. Plant the bulbs 6 to 9 inches apart, the 
large ones 4 inches and the small ones 2 inches deep. Make 
‘an early planting of fhe smallest bulbs first as soon as the 
iground is sufficiently dry and warm. Continue to plant at 
intervals of 2 weeks during the spring and early summer; in 
this way there will be a succession of bloom from midsummer 
until frost. A free use of water during the season of active 
growth, particularly as the buds begin to show color, will be 
beneficial in producing fine blossoms. All our Gladiolus bulbs 
have been treated against thrip. Prices on all quantities are 
postpaid.
