first class cut flower varieties with a considerable amount of new, 
highly priced varieties. We can confidently say that the quality of 
our mixed gladioli is very high as our customers well know.

FIRMLY to the roots of the seedlings, but never plant them deeper 
than they stood before transplanting. Artichoke must at no time 
be allowed to super from lack of moisture. One can also sow the 
seed in the open late in April. From this sowing you will get a 
crop the following year and then for many years. The plants must 
be protected over winter with a layer of dirt a foot deep with ma- 
nure placed on top of this dirt. The dirt must be removed grad- 
ually with the approaching spring else the plants are Hable to rot 
over winter. Before dirt is placed on top of the plants, cut the 
stalks and leaves clese te the surface ef the greund.
