FULL SIZE FLOWERS — THE FIRST YEA 
GLADIOLI “GLADS” 
from Gurney’s 
BIG BULBS 
Gladioli have their place in every garden. The 
bulbs should be set so that the top is about 4 
inches below the surface and spaced from six to 
eight inches apart. It makes the most stately 
of cut flowers and if picked when the first flowers 
open, it will continue to flower clear to the tip 
and last a long time.

linus type. Large, open flowers gracefully placed
