Beautiful Gladiolus — Grand for Cutting 
For beautiful flowers, available from July until late fall, there are none more dependable or magnificent than the Gladioli. 
Planted in clumps they are attractive in the garden and as a cut flower they have no peer. By planting at intervals, about 
one week apart, starting the first part of May and continuing to the middle of June, a succession of bloom may be had from 
July until late fall. Plant the bulbs in cultivated, well-drained soil about 5 inches deep. They do best in full sun. When cutting 
3 or 4 leaves should be left to the plant which will allow the bulb to properly mature. After the first killing frost, take the 
bulbs up carefully and cut off the stalk about 1 inch from the bulb and allow it to dry about one week. Then pack in shallow 
boxes and place for the winter in a cool dry cellar where the temperature will not go below freezing. The following varieties 
are among the most lovely and dependable:
