As for most plants a rich sandy loam is best. If a program of soil-building 
by use of manure and other humus has been followed your soil is ideal. The 
only fertilizer we recommend is Superphosphate. When plants are 6” high, 
growth healthy and weather mild to warm one can apply at side of row about 
a handful to 8 or 10 ft. of row. This is the total amount on both sides of row. 
Experiment on a few first. Wait a week. If too strong, tips of leaves turn 
yellow or brown. 
All bulbs, including Glads, should have the same good culture after 
flowering as before, in order to produce good bulbs for the following season.
