How To Grow Good ^Glads 77 
In the spring, as soon as the ground has dried out, spade your 
garden to a depth of at least 12 inches. Plant the bulbs in rows about 
20 inches apart to admit free and intensive cultivation, and about 3 
inches apart in the row, covering with 6 inches in light soil and 3 inches 
in. heavy ground. Be sure that the covering soil is mellow. 
FERTILIZING. If some good rotted manure can be procured in 
the fall, give the garden a good coating and spade it under. Realizing 
that such fertilizer isi hard to obtain, we must take the next best choice 
and use a commercial fertilizer. For the average gardener the best to 
use is sheep manure. After the row or trench is made this fertilizer 
can be applied thickly in the bottom and mixed with the mellow earth, 
but we prefer setting the bulbs, then covering with an inch or two of 
earth and then applying the fertilizer before the row is filled in. This 
allows the fertilizing properties to soak down to the roots where it is 
needed. After growth has started another application on each side of 
the row and thoroughly worked into the soil is of much benefit; in fact, 
this top-dressing can be applied several times during the growing season. 
Before flower spikes appear, a good top-dressing of super phosphate and 
potash worked in will greatly benefit the flowers. GROWING FLOWERS 
SHOULD HAVE A CONSTANT SUPPLY OF MOISTURE AT ALL TIMES.
