Gladioli have long been great favorites with the American people. With reasonable 
care they will produce a bountiful supply of cut flowers. The proper way to enjoy 
these gorgeous blooms is to make 4 plantings each year about the first of April, May, 
June and July. Simply place the bulbs 4 inches below the surface of any ordinary 
soil and allow about 6 inches of space between each bulb. 
Cole's list of bulbs is always up-to-date, containing only the better varieties.
