GLADIOLUS 
for Cutting ad Garden Display 
Gladiolus are among the most universally popular of summer flowers. 
They make a brilliant mass in the garden and are very showy when used 
for indoor decoration. It is not difficult to have blooms over a large part 
of the summer if the bulbs are planted at two-week intervals from about 
May 1 to mid-June. 
For cutting purposes Gladiolus are planted in rows; they are also 
effective in groups among perennials or in a shrub border. Any good garden 
soil is suitable if a situation in full sun is provided. Bulbs should be planted 
about 4 inches deep and 6 inches apart. Plenty of water and occasional 
feedings of fertilizer are necessary to produce good spikes. 
_ In Iate fall the bulbs are dug up and dried before being stored for the 
winter In a frostproof cellar. To control thrips, scatter naphthalene flakes 
between rows during the growing season.
