HARDIE'S Spring Flowering Bulbs 
Hardie’s Superb Gladiolus 
The Gladiolus is one of the most popular decorative plants in the garden. If the spikes are 
cut when the lowest flower is in bloom, the others will open in succession and remain fresh for 
a week or more. They are very easy to grow and will do well in almost any soil under any 
conditions. Plant the bulbs very early in the spring from 8 to 9 inches apart, covering 214 to 3 
inches. Plant at intervals of 2 weeks during the spring and early summer. 
BEACON. One of the very tallest, and most 
brilliant in color. This variety is well named.

Bright scarlet with creamy throat. Striking 
either as an individual bloom, or in a group.
