CULTURE 
Do not plant Gladiolus too near buildings, trees or shrubbery. Plant larger size bulbs not less than 6 inches apart, 
either in rows or in beds for maximum results, if in rows, the rows should be not less than eighteen inches apart. Plant 
six inches deep in light soils or three inches deep in heavy soils. The better the ground is prepared and the more plant food 
applied (preferably well rotted manure, cow manure if available) well mixed in, the fall before planting if possible, the finer 
your blooms will be, provided you cultivate frequently and plenty of water is forthcoming especially when they are spiking. 
THRIPS 
These tiny creatures will if once established, ruin your blooms no matter how well grown. Some people have grown 
Gladioli for years without being bothered by this pest, but they are simply fortunate. Don’t take chances, start with clean 
bulbs, treat before planting and spray regularly during growth. If your bulbs are at all diseased, I recommend corrosive 
sublimate treatment before planting in the spring, one ounce to seven gallons of warm water as a solution in which to 
soak the corms overnight. 
Now about varieties. Remember it costs just as much in time, money and labor to raise an out-dated, worthless variety 
as it does to raise a good one. Why not get rid of the worthless ones and get started with the better sorts, adding a few of 
the newer ones each year. Many of the older ones are still tops, but some are being replaced each year by better ones to 
keep your garden up to date, try as many new ones as you can find room and time for.
