BULBS AND ROOTS 
We make a specialty of securing the firmest, ripest bulbs obtainable, so that there is no surer 
way of having a conservatory full of beautiful flowers, or a garden of brilliant color, than by planting 
Hunt’s Bulbs. And remember, we pay transportation when cash accompanies order. 
GLADIOLUS 
Culture. Gladiolus will succeed in all kinds of 
soil, provided the location is a sunny one. Before 
spading or plowing, manure the ground thoroughly, 
as Gladiolus like rich ground. 
_ Time of Planting. The bulbs can be planted 
just as soon as the frost is out of the ground and the 
beds are properly prepared. In the vicinity of New 
York this may be early in April. If the flowers are 
wanted In successive crops, it is best to make weekly 
plantings, and, if planted as late as June 30, the 
flowers will appear before frost-time. 
Feeding. Gladiolus are gross feeders, and we find 
pulverized sheep-manure is the most result-produc- 
ing food. Apply it between the rows after the foliage 
has made a good start, and repeat the application 
every two weeks until the buds show. From that 
time on, liquid sheep-manure, applied every other 
day, produces splendid results. 
Watering. Continued moisture Is just as essen- 
tial for the successful growing of these flowers as - 
food, and we wish to impress our readers with the 
fact that drought is most detrimental to their health. 
Cultivation. It is a well-established fact that 
every plant benefits by constant cultivation, and if 
we were asked what part of the culture 1s the most 
important we should always say cultivation. The 
soil around the plants should always be open. 
Depth and Distance to Plant. Our recommen- 
dation is to plant 4 inches deep and 4 inches apart.
