Michel's 
Gorgeous Gladiolus 
There is no other summer-flowering bulb that is enjoying so great 
popularity as the Gladiolus. Their adaptability to garden decoration 
or to use as cut-flowers during the summer and early autumn Is sur- 
passed by no other flower. They are not only showy in the garden, 
but when cut with the first flower open will last for ten days in the 
house. While they thrive in almost any good garden soil, better results 
may be had if soil is well prepared and enriched with some of our 
pulverized manures. Great improvements have been made im the 
size, color, and beauty of these flowers. Our list comprises the best of 
recent introductions as well as the most popular of the standard 
varieties. Plant bulbs 4 inches deep and from 4 to 6 inches apart.
