GLADIOLUS 
“EVERYBODY’S ORCHID” 
Not less than 6 bulbs at the 
dozen rate, or 25 at the 100 
rate. 
Any good garden soil will grow Gladiolus, provided they receive ample sunlight. Plant 2 to 4 inches 
deep and 4 to 6 inches apart; always give good cultivation. To obtain extra large exhibition blooms 
it is well to feed plants with a good balanced commercial fertilizer; for tall exhibition spikes, use the 
dyed green bamboo stakes. It is best to support them to insure against injury from the elements. 
Water copiously about two times per week. Liquid manure or blood meal will help greatly in develbping 
the florets. In cutting spikes, always leave five leaves for continued development of bulbs. When the 
foliage yellows in the fall, lift bulbs and cut foliage within two inches of bulb. Let them thoroughly 
dry, then store in a cool, dry place. 
From planting time, blooms appear in 70 to 80 days for early varieties; 80 to 90, medium; 90 to 100 for late.
