Dear Sir: 
The bulbs arrived all ok and I wish to thank you for the extras, will remember you 
next year. 
Respectfully yours,

How to Plant, Treat, Dig and Store Your Glads 
When your bulbs arrive and you are not ready to plant, open the bags to admit 
air, and put them in a cool place until planting time. 
Glads can be planted as soon as the frost is out of the ground (about April 10 in 
this latitude) and for a succession of bloom until autumn frosts plantings may be 
continued every two weeks until July Ist. 
If you did not prepare the bed the previous fall by spading rough and coating 
with 3 to 5 inches of old rotten cow manure, this to be spaded in deeply in the 
spring, then you should prepare the bed now. 
FIRST—Select a place as far from buildings and large trees as you can. The 
better you prepare the bed the better your results will be. Spade deep and use 
plenty old rotten cow manure if you can get it, otherwise use a good grade of com- 
plete artificial fertilizer, such as Vigoro. Dig a trench about 7 inches deep, and 
apply a heavy dusting of fertilizer in the bottom of the trench, cover this with 2 
inches of good soil and plant your bulbs on top of this, then cover with the remaining 
ground. This will put the bulbs 5 inches below the LEVEL. See that no fertilizer 
touches the bulbs. 
You can plant your bulbs close together if you must, but bulbs planted 7 to 10 
inches apart in the trench will produce much bigger plants and flowers. The glad- 
iolus needs root room to produce exhibition spikes. 
After planting, the bulbs won’t need much extra watering for some time, this 
forces them to send their roots down deep into the rich mellow earth, but when the 
flower spikes start showing, you absolutely MUST keep the ground moist deep down. 
A mere sprinkling each night will do no good; in fact is harmful, as this draws the
