GLADIOLUS BULBS 
Burpee’s famous gladiolus are grown and admired wherever beauti¬ 
ful flowers are known. They make attractive displays in the garden, 
planted either in beds or in groups here and there in the perennial 
or annual border. They are ideal for house decoration. If the spikes 
are cut when the bottom flower shows color, all the buds, clear to 
the top, will open. Gladiolus are easily grown in any good, well- 
drained soil. Our bulbs are of large size, 1% in. or more across.
