Gladiolus 
for Summer Flowers 
They are easily grown, seldom troubled with insects and 
diseases, increase rapidly, and are probably the most popu- 
lar of summer and fall blooming bulbs. By planting as soon 
as danger of frost is over, and at intervals of two weeks, you 
can have Gladiolus from latter June to September. The col- 
ors range from white through the different shades of yellow, 
orange, pink, red and purple. Plant 3 to 5 in. apart. Instruc- 
tions will be sent with the bulbs. 
Please Notice We Quote By Size 
“Blooming size’’ doesn’t mean much, because Ist, 2nd, 3rd, 
4th and 5th size will bloom, though the smaller sizes give 
smaller flowers and smaller spikes than the larger sizes. 
First size is 1 in. and over in diameter; 2nd size, 114 in, 
3rd size | in.; 4th size 34 in; Sth size Y in. 

Gladiolus, Mixed 
An excellent mixture of 2nd size bulbs, 114 in. in diameter, 
perhaps the best value for outdoor planting, as they give nice 
spikes of flowers. One each of 12 first class varieties, not la- 
beled, 1.20; two each for 2.10. Postpaid in Missouri, Arkan- 
sas, Iowa, Kansas and Oklahoma. For more distant states 
add Sc per dozen. 
Gooseberries 
Easily grown and readily respond to a little care. Plant 
3x5 or 4x5 ft. A northern slope or slight shade is best. 
Houghton. The best for most sections; medium size but a 
profuse bearer; resistant to rust; pale dull red when ripe, 
usually picked green. 2 year No. 1, 50c each, 3 at 45c¢ each. 

Apple Trees 
for Home Orchards 
The only way for the average family to have all the fresh 
fruit they want is to grow their own. The home orchard 
should include an assortment from early to late. A good 
planting distance is 30x30 ft., requiring 48 trees per acre.
