MARSHALL'S MATCHLESS BULBS 
Marshall’s Gladiolus 
There are no other Summer-flowering bulbs so satisfactory, needing so little attention and thriving so well in almost 
any ordinary soil as the Gladiolus. Set the bulbs from 3 to 6 inches apart in rows, or for massing 6 inches apart, and about 
4 inches deep. 
Our selection has been made from many varieties and includes all those of exceptional merit and a wide range of colors. 
Hints on Cultivation of Gladiolus —Any good garden soil in the open garden where there is plenty of sunshine and 
a fair amount of water is ideal. Fertilize with well rotted manure turned under in the Fall; or, if manure is not available, 
pulverized sheep or cow manure can be used by putting in bottom of trench when planting and covering with an inch of soil. 
Commercial fertilizer may be used on the surface during growing season, being careful to keep from direct contact with bulb 
or foliage. For extra large spikes, fertilize heavily, but do not omit to water freely, at least an inch of water every 2 or 3 days.
