MORE POPULAR THAN 
EVER—ALL POSTPAID 
The long, graceful spikes that carry 
fifteen to twenty buds may be cut soon as the first flower buds show color; then, if kept in. water each successive bud will develop and 
thus prolong the blooming many days. 
The planting season starts in April, and continues until in June, at intervals of 2 weeks; you thus have flowers from late July until 
frost time. 
Best results are obtained in a sunny position and placing the bulbs fully 6 inches deep. Water freely.

Caution there has been great damage caused by Gladiolus Thrips. They ines the 
foliage and unfolded buds so that they do not open. Be on the safe side, whether planting 
new stock or bulbs saved from previous year, treat the bulbs just before planting. Semesan 
or Lysol are very effective treatments. 
SEMESAN. 2-0z. can, with full directions, 35c, postpaid. 
LYSOL, May be obtained from any drug store. Directions: Use one teaspoonful to a 
quart of water. For large lots, use one pint to 25 gallons water. Heat this solution to 
about 90 degrees. Put the bulbs (in thin cloth bags) into solution. Let remain for 8 to 
10 hours. Solution need not be kept up to 90 degrees, but keep it and the room warm 
while bulbs are soaking. Do not heat solution hotter than 90 degrees, somewhat less will 
do, but solution must be warm and room warm to get best results.
