GLADIOLUS ie 

Cream of the World’s 
Best Varieties 
Cuiture.—Any good garden soil will grow Gladiolus well, provided they are planted in a sunny location. Bulbs should be 4 inches deep and 
at least 6 inches apart; frequent cultivation with a hoe or a weeder, around the base of the plant, is advisable. 
For best results, we rec- 
ommend plants being staked when one foot high. (We offer light green dyed bamboo canes, which are excellent for this purpose.) Water 
copiously, and as the flower-buds begin to form, apply liquid manure for exhibition spikes. 
May 
be planted at intervals for a succession of bloom, and those held for planting should be kept cool. Patrons who plant Jate for 
September flowers may order in the spring; we will keep corms in cold storage and ship them when required, up to July 15, which, in the lati- 
tude of New York, ts the Jatest advisable date to plant. 
From planting-date, blooms appear in 10 to 11 weeks with early sorts, 12 to 13 weeks with midseason sorts, 14 weeks with late sorts
