For general garden decoration and for cut flowers the 
Gladiolus is deserving of special attention. Very effective 
for massing in large beds where a brilliant effect is de' 
sired. Of easiest culture, seldom disappointing and ini' 
mune to insect pests. They thrive in well prepared, 
enriched loam, planted 3 inches deep and 6 inches 
apart. Frequent watering is very beneficial. We stock 
first size bulbs only. Six bulbs offered at the dozen rate.
