BULBS and ROOTS for Spring Planting 
GLADIOLI 
One of the most 
attractive of summer 
flowering bulbs is 
the gladiolus. A nice 
feature of this bulb 
is the culture. It 
does not require 
very much attention 
and only takes the 
usual amount of 
watering that is 
given any ordinary 
garden. In setting 
out the bulbs, try to 
select a sunny spot 
of fairly rich soil 
and spade deeply, 
then place your 
bulb firmly 4 to 5 
inches from the sur- 
Gladioli face.

CANNAS 
In preparing the ground for cannas earth 
should be spaded at least 2 feet deep and 
plenty of stable manure mixed in. The roots 
must be set about 8 to 10 inches from the 
surface and 2 feet apart, and with little 
attention, plants will bloom heavily.

PEONIES 
The culture of peonies is very easy and 
it does not require any certain soil, either 
sandy or heavy will do. The earth must 
be spaded deep. A little manure mixed in 
would not hurt. After your ground is in 
shape, plant the roots from 2 to 3 feet apart, 
covering the crown only 1 to 2 inches. Then 
give them plenty of water for best results. 
The best of the many varieties are those 
mentioned below. 3 to 5 eyes.
