ONE OF OUR GLADIOLUS FIELDS 
TIME REQUIRED TO BLOOM 
The number of days required to bloom depends on the latitude, 
weather, kind of soil, size of bulbs, depth of planting, etc., so that I 
consider the tables given by some growers as unreliable. I prefer to 
class them as EE—extra early; E—Early; EM—early medium; M— 
medium; LM—late medium; and L—late. An early variety will 
take about 70 to 75 days; medium, 85 days; and late, 95 days. 
These figures, however, are only approximate.
