A.S. & L., Gladiolus Bulbs 
In every garden, including Victory gardens, gladioli should be grown. Most 
beautiful of summer flowers, they are at the same time the easiest to grow. As 
a border for the vegetable plot, or planted in a row beside the vegetables, they 
will thrive under the same cultivation and not only decorate the garden, but pro- 
vide beautiful cut flowers for the home, or other purposes. 
You will find our list thoroughly up-to-date 
with prices very low for the quality and varie- 
ties offered. 
Our named varieties are all Ist size, thrip- 
free bulbs. It is always safe, however, to treat 
the bulbs with Semesan (see page 42), before 
planting to avoid contamination.
