SELECT GLADIOLUS 
Culture: Gladiolus can be successfully grown in prac- 
tically any soil and respond wonderfully to a little attention, 
such as timely watering and cultivation. (Planting). Have 
soil loose; make trench or hole deep enough so that bulbs 
can be covered with three inches of soil (sandy soil 5 in.) 
Plant bulbs three inches apart in row. Use a complete ferti- 
lizer, (Vigoro) at planting time and again when buds first 
appear.
