There are few flowers to compare with the Gladiolus for all¬ 
round usefulness in the home-garden—and few flowers are more 
lovely or easier to grow. Their graceful form, attractive colors, 
and characteristic markings have given them the popular name 
of “Garden Orchids.” Plant the bulbs any time after mid-April 
up to the end of June, setting them about 4 inches deep and 6 
inches apart. For a constant supply of flowers for cutting from 
August to frost, make plantings every week or ten days during 
the spring. The varieties we offer are the choicest in their color- 
range, and you will not be disappointed by any of them. Our 
bulbs average inches and over in diameter, which is con¬ 
sidered the very best flowering size.
