To ease up the shortage in gladioli bulbs we are offering bulbs 
in size No. 3 which is bulbs % to 1 inch across. From these bulbs 
you will get a crop of flowers of as good quality as flowers pro- 
duced from full sized bulbs only your flowers will come a few days 
later, which really will make hardly any difference to most flower 
growers. With the smaller size of the bulbs goes down also the 
price. Per 100, $3.00; per 1,000, 26.00, not prepaid.

harvested a crop of fine plump bulbs but what bulbs we do have is 
nothing to the increased demand for bulbs. GLADIOLI IN MIX-

ARTICHOKE—Culture. Requires rich, heavily manured soil. Jn the 
North, plant in a protected position. Sow the seed late in February

and plant in the open when danger of frost {s past. Press the dirt 
FIRMLY to the roots of the seedlings, but never plant them deeper 
than they stood before transplanting. Artichoke must at no time 
be allowed to super from lack of moisture. One can also sow the 
seed in the open late in April. From this sowing you will get a 
crop the following year and then for many years. The plants must 
be protected over winter with a layer of dirt a foot deep with ma- 
nure placed on top of this dirt. The dirt must be removed grad- 
ually with the approaching spring else the plants are liable to rot 
over winter. Before dirt is placed en top of the plants, cut the 
etalke and leavers clese te the surface ef the ground.
