GLADIOLUS . . . Liefgreen's Selected Bulbs 
Plant more Gladiolus bulbs this winter. This beautiful flower thrives 
exceedingly well when planted from November and on during the win¬ 
ter months. 
Gladioli will thrive in almost any soil with the exception of extremely 
heavy soils. They require full sunlight and are liable to injury only from 
rank manure. Plant the bulbs six to nine inches apart to a depth of 
about four inches. We recommend free use of water during the season 
of active growth, particularly as the buds begin to show color, which is 
beneficial in producing fine flowers. We can furnish Gladiolus bulbs 
from November to March. 
The following varieties are all choice selections of jumbo hand-picked 
bulbs. Plant them freely. We pay the postage.
