GLADIOLUS- 
For a succession, plant at intervals from April 1st to the end of June. Any good garden 
soil will grow Gladiolus well, provided they are planted in a sunny location. 
Bulbs should be planted 4 inches deep and at least 6 inches apart; frequent cultivation with 
a hoe or weeder, around the base of the plants, to prevent the soil becoming hard and dry, 
is advisable.
