GLADIOLUS 
Gladiolus are the most satisfactory summer cut flower. They 
may be cut when the first bloom is. opening on the spike and they will 
keep a full week, blooming out to the last bud on the end of the stem. 
There has been such an improvement in varieties that a bouquet of 
these new originations is something breath taking. Also if you start 
planting early as the ground is in good condition and keep planting 
at two week intervals you may have these beauties from the first of 
July up to the frosts in the fall. 
There is the largest shortage in all kinds of plants and bulps this 
year that we have ever known. As you know the help shortage all 
over the country has been acute, and it has affected bulb growers as 
well as everyone else. Therefore we would advise ordering early while 
stocks are complete. We have extra nice bulbs this year. Most of 
them will give you two spikes of bloom to the bulb. 
The price listed is Per Dozen. You may have 3 at one-third the 
dozen rate. And most of the varieties are 75c per dozen, three of any 
15c doz. variety would be 25c. 6 of 75c doz. varieties for 40c. Other- 
wise 6 at the dozen rate. Please do not order less than 3 of any 
variety.
