Glorious Gladiolus for a Rainbow of Colors 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. Plant the bulbs 4 inches deep and at least 6 inches apart in good 
garden soil. Gladiolus may be planted as soon as the ground is ready in Spring, and continuous 
blooms may be obtained by periodic plantings until July. Our bulbs are all No. 1 large size. 
We do not handle the small grade, which seldom give satisfaction, nor do we handle the very 
large bulbs which are no better but more expensive.
