NOTES ON GLADIOLUS CULTURE 
Planting should begin as soon as the 
ground is warm, and be followed by 
successive plantings of about ten-day 
intervals. Late blooms are usually 
finer than those coming during the 
heat of mid-summer. 
Select a sunny location away from 
the roots of trees and shrubs. If your 
soil is heavy, plant four inches deep 
and if light, six inches, spacing bulbs 
five or six inches apart. 
Place bulbs in well worked trench, 
and cover at first with about two 
inches of loam: when shoots begin to 
appear, work balance of loam into 
the trench. At all times keep the soil 
loose. As an aid to producing larger 
blooms, work in fertilizer around the 
plants when about a foot in height, 
but NEVER at planting time. Water 
frequently, especially at blooming 
time, soaking the ground thoroughly. 
For cut flowers, cut the spike when 
first bud fully opens. 
Bulbs should be dug as soon as the 
leaves turn yellow. Cut stem off half 
an inch above bulb, spread them out 
to dry for two weeks or more be- 
fore storing them away (spread 
out) in a cool dry cellar.
