Gladiolus 
Of summer-blooming plants for general garden 
decoration, the Gladiolus are deserving of special 
attention. Requiring but little room for growth, 
they are exceedingly useful for planting among 
shrubbery in the border, while for massing in 
large beds, where a brilliant and effective display 
is desired, they are invaluable. They succeed 
best in good loam, enriched with well-rotted 
manure. Bulbs should be planted about 3 inches 
deep and 6 inches apart. All our Gladiolus are 
No. 1 top-sized bulbs and will produce fine, 
healthy blooms.
