GLADIOLUS 
We believe that gladiolus are among the 
best for cut flower purposes. They make 
up easily into bouquets which last for many 
days. Most florists are lost when the glad- 
iolus season is over, as their best arrange- 
ments are generally made with these flow- 
ers. They require very little room — the 
smallest of gardens can hold 100 bulbs. 
Gladiolus do best in full sun and plenty of 
moisture with good drainage. Spray if 
there is any possibility of trips. They re- 
quire some fertility, but will do well with- 
out it providing there is plenty of moisture. 
Only the very best varieties for both com- 
mercial and exhibition purposes are listed. 
A planting circular on gladiolus will be sent 
with every order.
