GLADIOLUS, Mixed 
GLADIOLUS 
Any good garden soil is suitable for Gladiolus; how- 
ever, they respond well to frequent cultivation around 
the base of the plant and an application of liquid fer- 
tilizer as the buds begin to form. Plant 4 inches deep 
and at least 6 inches apart. They may be planted at 
any time from mid-April until mid-July. If the spikes 
are cut when the bottom flowers begin to open, all the 
buds will open and they will last ten days In water.
