STILL NEED for VICTORY GARDENS 
(Our Government calls for 20 million for 1945) 
In the last two years home gardeners have freed thousands of tons of fresh 
and canned fruits and vegetables for the armed forces and have produced 
abundant foods, of the highest quality, for their families. 
No matter when the war ends there will be need for an abundant supply 
of fresh fruits and vegetables, and those who grow their own will be sure of 
having them when they are at their best. 
Flowers are necessary to sustain morale and should by no means be neglected. 
They may be planted as borders, or in rows, in the vegetable garden’ when 
space elsewhere is not available. Select from our catalog a few varieties 
suitable for bouquets and enjoy cut flowers in the home through summer 
and fall. 
There is a wealth of information in these two little volumes at 25 cents each:

WILSON'S GLORIOUS GLADIOLUS 
ALL FIRST SIZE BULBS (Extremely Scarce) 
CULTURE — Any good garden soil, thoroughly prepared and manured, is suitable. Bone Meal in fall or 
cow manure (Bovung) in spring are particularly good. If the soil is stiff, add sand or sifted ashes. 
Gladioli do best in full sun. Plant in rows, 6 inches apart in the row and 6 inches deep, rows 12 inches 
apart. Continue to plant every 2 weeks till July for a succession. Frequent cultivation is advisable. 
Water copiously. Take up bulbs in fall before ground begins tc freeze and put in a warm, sunny place, for 
a few days, to dry. Cut off stems close to bulb. Put bulbs (corms) in boxes not over 4’ deep and keep in a 
dry cool place till spring. 
Cut spikes as soon as the first one or two flowers are open. The remainder will open in the house.
