GLADIOLUS FOR EVERY GARDEN 
Few summer flowering bulbous plants 
have enjoyed such consistent increasing 
interest and well deserved favor as have 
these late flowering Gladiolus. They are 
unequalled garden and cut flower subjects 
in view of the wealth of gorgeous blooms 
they produce. Gladiolus will do well in 
almost any good soil except a stiff clay. 
Plant bulbs 6-9 inches apart and cover 
twice the depth of the bulb, generally 4 
inches deep for the largest and about 2 
inches deep for the smaller bulbs. Make 
the first early planting of the smallest 
bulbs in the spring, as soon as the ground 
is sufficiently dry and warm. If successive 
plantings are made every two weeks, 
flowers may be had from early summer 
until frost. The plants should be watered 
freely, particularly when the buds begin 
to show color, as steady, vigorous growth 
is essential in obtaining the choicest blos¬ 
soms. 
We supply only first-class No. 1 bulbs.
