CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
SOILi AND FERTILIZER:—Gladioli do well on most 
any soil that will grow corn or potatoes. They should 
be planted in the open where there is plenty of sun¬ 
shine and a reasonable amount of moisture; poor soil 
should be improved" with a good dressing of well- 
rotted manure. If manure is not available, you may 
use commercial fertilizer on the surface, along the 
rows during the growing season. Fertilizer should be 
kept from direct contact with the bulbs. 
PLANTING:—Upon receipt of bulbs, open package 
to permit air and keep in cool, dry place until time 
to plant. Plant as soon as the earth is in workable 
condition, usually after maple trees are out in leaf, 
and until July 1st. If planted at intervals, a succes¬ 
sion of flowers can be obtained. 
For garden planting, make furrows 2 to 3 feet apart; 
4 to 5 inches deep for large bulbs. Smaller bulbs 
should be planted more shallow. Plant in single, dou¬ 
ble or triple rows, from 2 to 6 inches apart. You may 
regulate your distance, depending on space and num¬ 
ber of bulbs you have. 
Treat your bulbs before planting against thrip and 
disease, by using 1 ounce Corrosive Sublimate to 4 gallons 
of water. Soak for 3 hours. 
Inasmuch as there is a possibility that the plants may 
became infested during the growing season it is advisa- 
bie to spray when plants are 8 inches high with KU-BA- 
TOX or some othei- good Insecticide. 
FOR CUT FLOWER USE:—The spike should be cut as 
soon as the first flower opens on the stalk, preferably 
before the dew is off in the morning, but never in the 
heat of the day. Place the cut flowers in a deep vase, 
with at least 8 inches of water. Remove the faded blos¬ 
soms, cut a little off the stem and change the water daily. 
Treated this way the buds will open perfectly. 
HARVESTING THE BULBS:—After cutting the blooms 
the bulbs remain in the ground until the end of Septem¬ 
ber to attain their full growth. They must be taken up 
before freezing weather, the tops cut off, and the bulbs 
spread on racks to dry thoroughly. They may then be 
stored on racks, preferably not over four or five Inches 
deep—in any fairly warm, dry cellar and dirt and bulblets 
can be cleaned off when convenient later on.
