GLADIOLUS-- 
For a succession, plant at intervals from April 1st to the 
end of June. 
Any good garden soil will grow Gladiolus 
well, provided they are planted in a sunny location. 
Bulbs should be planted 4 inches deep and at least 6 inches apart; frequent cultivation with a hoe or 
weeder, around the base of the plants, to prevent the soil becoming hard and dry, is advisable.
