GLADIOLI 
The Gladioli are without an equal either for bedding or borders. 
As a cut flower they are far superior to any other Summer bloomer, 
either for lasting qualities or for the various uses for which they 
can be excellently and artistically employed. If planted by the last 
of May, they will bloom by the first to the middle of August, if 
cared for properly. 
THE WAY TO PLANT Gladioli—Dig the row or bed from eight 
to ten inches deep, then spread a liberal amount of good fertilizer 
in the bottom of the row or bed, then rake it in thoroughly before 
planting your bulbs from four to six inches deep.
