Buist’s Superb 
Gladiolus 
The Long Lasting Cut Flower 
LADIOLUS are the most popular of all 
the Summer-blooming bulbs. Their 
charm and wealth of color are enjoyed in any 
garden. Plant them in borders, solid beds and 
among shrubbery. For cut flowers they are 
unexcelled. In cutting it is best to cut the 
spike when the first flower opens. The balance 
of buds will develop when placed in water 
and thus prolong the blooming period. 
CULTURE. They can be grown with very little effort, 
as they thrive well in all ordinary garden soils in any 
sunny, airy location. Plant the bulbs, top up, 4 inches 
deep and at least 6 inches apart as early in the Spring 
as the ground is fit to work. A continuous succession 
of flowers may be enjoyed until frost by successive 
plantings every two weeks until late June. Gladiolus 
appreciate plenty of moisture and thorough cultivation 
during the growing season. Lift the bulbs in the fall 
after the foliage begins to turn color and dies down; 
allow them to dry in the sun, then separate the useless 
old bulb and dead foliage from the new bulb. Store 
the new bulb in a cool dry frost-proof place until time 
for Spring planting, To control Gladiolus thrips, spray 
regularly with Nicotine Pyrox.
