GLADIOLUS 
for Cutting ad Garden Display 
Gladiolus are among the most universally popular of summer flowers. 
They make a brilliant mass in the garden and are very showy when used 
for indoor decoration. It is not difficult to have blooms over a large part 
of the summer if the bulbs are planted at two-week intervals from about 
May 1 to mid-June. 
For cutting purposes Gladiolus are planted in rows; they are also 
effective in groups among perennials or in a shrub border. Any good garden 
soil is suitable if a situation m full sun is provided. Bulbs should be planted 
about 4 inches deep and 6 inches apart. Plenty of water and occasional 
feedings of fertilizer are necessary to produce good spikes. 
In late fall the bulbs are dug up and dried before being stored for the 
winter in a frostproof cellar. To control thrips, scatter naphthalene flakes 
between rows during the growing season.
