DAHLIAS, LILIES, GLADIOLUS 


We Feature X-L Stately 
GLADIOLUS 
The most gorgeous and beautiful of all summer flowering 
bulbs. ‘’Glads" are easy to raise, take very little room and have 
only one serious insect pest. They are unexcelled for cutting. 
Bulbs may be saved from year to year by digging and storing 
in a cool dry place but the low cost of X-L.bulbs hardly warrants 
this trouble. Plant bulbs about 4 inches deep in a sunny location. 
Light, sandy loam is preferred but you'll find that they are not 
finicky or fastidious and will thrive almost any place you put 
them. Start planting about April Ist, weather permitting, and 
continue planting every two weeks until June Ist. This will give 
you blooms all summer.

Postage, 10c for first 50. For each additional 50, add 4c. (No less than 50 sold at

HARDY LILIES 
Lilies are truly among the most beautiful of all bulbous plants. They are espe- 
cially suitable for planting in borders, and enjoy a position where they are pro- 
tected by the shade of surrounding plants. Light, well-drained soil is recommended. 
Bulbs should be planted 5 to 6 inches below the surface, and to prevent the 
accumulation of excessive moisture, surround the bulb wth coarse sand and fill in 
with a mixture of fibrous loam and leaf-mould.
