BULBS and ROOTS for Spring Planting 
Gladioli 
GLADIOLI 
One of the most attractive of summer 
flowering bulbs is the gladiolus. A nice 
feature of this bulb is the culture. It does 
not require very much attention and only 
takes the usual amount of watering that is 
given any ordinary garden. In setting out 
the bulbs, try to select a sunny spot of fairly 
rich soil and spade deeply, then place your 
bulb firmly 4 to 5 inches from the surface.

GANNAS 
In preparing the ground for cannas earth

attention, plants will bloom heavily.

PEONIES 
The culture of peonies is very easy and 
it does not require any certain soil, either 
sandy or heavy will do. The earth must 
be spaded deep. A little manure mixed in 
would not hurt. After your ground is in 
shape, plant the roots from 2 to 3 feet apart, 
covering the crown only 1 to 2 inches. Then 
give them plenty of water for best results.

mentioned below. 3 to 5 eyes.
