Gladiolus Bulbs 123. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. Plant the bulbs 4 Inches deep and at least 6 inches apart in good garden 
soil. Gladiolus may be planted as soon as the ground is ready in Spring, and continuous blooms may be 
obtained by periodic plantings until July. 
Our bulbs are all No. 14 
large size. We do not handle the 
small grade, which seldom give satisfaction, nor do we handle the very large bulbs which are no better 
but more expensive.
