Cultural Suggestions 
Be sure that your Glads are planted where they will 
get full sunshine. The kind of soil is of less importance, 
for Glads do well on most any fertile garden loam. If 
available, manure may be used but should be old or 
well rotted. The pulverized manures are very satisfac~ 
tory or a good grade of commercial fertilizer will pro- 
duce excellent results. 
It is essential that the soil be thoroughly worked to a 
depth of 8 or 10 inches before planting, and if you are 
planting large bulbs (called No. 1 grade) you should 
plant them 6 inches deep, smaller bulbs not so deep. 
The distance between the bulbs can vary from 2 to 6 
or 8 inches according to space to be used. Distance 
between the rows should be about 24 inches.
