Qladiolus for Summer flowers 
Gladiolus are probably the most popular of summer and fall 
blooming bulbs. By planting as soon as danger of frost is over 
and at intervals of two weeks you can have gladiolus all sum¬ 
mer. They are easily grown, seldom troubled with insects or 
diseases, and increase rapidly. Plant 3 to 6 in. apart. Instruc¬ 
tions for growing and increasing your stock will be sent with 
the bulbs.
