SUPERB EXHIBITION GLADIOLUS 
MORE POPULAR THAN EVER—ALL POSTPAID 
The Gladiolus are the most attractive and useful cut flowers cf all the summer flowering bulbs. The long, graceful spikes that carry 
fifteen to twenty buds may be cut soon as the first flower buds show color; then, if kept in water each successive bud will develop and 
thus prclong the blooming many days. 
The planting season starts in April, and continues until in June. at intervals of two weeks; you thus have flowers from late July 
until frost time. Best results are obtained in a sunny position and placing the bulbs fully 6 inches deep. Water freely. 
A very complete Cultural Leaflet on Gladiolus free with orders upon request. To eliminate aphis and thrip treat with Semesan, 
Lysol or Ccrrosive Sublimate, and store with Naphthalene Flakes.
