GLADIOLI ARE EASY TO GROW 
Any good garden soil is suitable for Gladioli although they do like a sandy 
loam best. In preparing the soil follow only such methods as you would give 
a fine crop of garden vegetables. However, you will be rewarded for any 
special care given them in the way of cultivating, fertilizing and watering. 
It should be remembered that Gladioli enjoy sunshine and should not be 
planted in very shady places. Plant in rows, borders, among shrubbery, roses, 
and flowers, etc., or in separate groups. 
Planting should begin any time after early garden-making followed by suc¬ 
cessive plantings at say ten-day intervals until early July. Set the bulbs four 
inches deep and from four to eight inches apart. The finest blooms come from 
the earliest and the latest plantings. These Gladioli have the opportunity of 
coming into flower when the days are somewhat cooler and they really make 
much nicer flowers than in the terrific hot summer days. 
Complete cultural instructions including information on insect and disease 
control will be included with each order. You will find this information very 
much worth while for it tells you just how to care for your bulbs throughout 
the entire year, including the harvesting and storing of the bulbs so you will 
have fine Gladioli for the next season.
