Gladiolia 
GLADIOLUS 
... hew to make them grow bigger, better 
Gladiolus are among the easiest of all flowers to 
grow. But while they stand neglect better than 
most plants, they also respond beautifully to 
roper treatment. So it is well to note these 
eet points: 
Soil should be well drained, sandy loam, pre- 
ferably where no glads have been grown for the 
past 3 years. Cultivation to a depth of about 
18 inches is highly desirable. hy 
Full sun is best, although they do fairly well in 
partial shade. Glads may be set out as soon as 
frost is out of the ground, but extra-early planting 
gains little. A succession of plantings about ten 
days apart gives a long blooming season. 
Depth of planting should be no more than 4” in 
heavy soil and 5 to 6” in light, sandy soil. Space 
bulbs 3’ apart in rows 18 to 30’ apart. Be sure 
to eliminate air pockets under the bulbs. 
Place bulbs in a well worked trench and cover 
at first with about two inches of loam. When 
shoots begin to appear, work balance of loam 
into the trench. 
Watering is important. Glads need an abundance 
of moisture, especially after the plant is well 
developed. 
Cut the spike when first bud fully opens. The 
other buds will open nicely and give you a longer ~ 
period of bloom. 
Cutting the spike as soon as the first flower opens 
allows the plant strength to go into the corm.
