GLADIOLUS 
CULTURE: Plant Gladiolus any time 
from the middle of January until June, 
the early plantings are preferred as 
blooms come before the extreme hot 
weather. Plant in a good well drained 
loamy soil and cover about four inches; 
space six to eight inches apart. Succes¬ 
sive plantings of every ten days to two 
weeks will insure continuous bloom over 
a long period of time. 
Spraying: To insure good blooms it is 
necessary to spray Gladiolus for THRIP, 
a small almost microscopic insect that 
hides deep down in the blooms. Bulbs 
are treated for Thrip, but in the south 
the Thrips live over the winters in the 
foliage of other plants. As soon as the 
Gladiolus is six inches high spray with 
a mixture of 2 ounces (4% teaspoonsful) 
Tartar Emetic and 8 ounces (1 2/3 cup¬ 
fuls) Brown Sugar mixed in 3 gallons 
water. REPEAT THIS SPRAYING 
EVERY WEEK FOR SIX WEEKS. (We 
can supply you with Tartar Emetic and 
Brown Sugar).

DAHLIAS 
CULTURE 
Any good garden soil that contains 
enough sand to drain properly and enough 
humus to retain fertility and moisture 
will grow Dahlias. If the soil lacks hu¬ 
mus, apply Peat Moss. Have the ground 
well broken and prepared deep before 
planting time. After danger of frost is 
over, plant in holes 6 to 8 inches deep 
and about 3 ft. apart. Cover the tuber 
with about 2 ins. of soil and as the plant 
grows, gradually fill the hole until en¬ 
tirely filled. Dahlias thrive on a dressing 
of bone meal and potash, but do not over 
fertilize. Drive a stout stake or bamboo 
cane alongside the newly planted root at 
planting time and tie it to the stake to 
prevent damage from high wind storms, 
driving hail, or rain. Once or twice dur¬ 
ing the summer a small handful of Vigoro 
or other complete plant food not too rich 
in Nitragin raked into the soil will help. 
Wet ground thoroughly after applying 
fertilizer. Keep ground well cultivated 
at all times, deep at first and after buds 
begin to appear, very shallow. Cultivate 
after every rain to keep from forming 
crust and preserve moisture. During real 
dry weather, water thoroughly once a 
week or ten days. Do not wet a little 
every day, as this is harmful.
