| GLADIOLUS 
The Long Lasting Cut Flower 
GLADIOLUS are the most popular of all the Summer- 
blooming bulbs. Their charm and wealth of color are en- 
joyed in any garden. Plant them in borders, solid beds and 
among shrubbery, For cut flowers they are unexcelled. In 
cutting it is best to cut the spike when the first flower 
opens. The balance of buds will develop when placed in 
water and thus prolong the blooming period. 
CULTURE. They can be grown with very little effort, ag 
they thrive well in all ordinary garden soils in any 
sunny, airy location. Plant the bulbs, top up, 4 incheg 
deep and at least 6 inches apart as early in the Spring ag 
the ground is fit to work. A continuous succession of flow- 
ers may be enjoyed until frost by successive plantings 
every two weeks until late June. Gladiolus appreciate 
plenty of moisture and thorough cultivation during the 
growing season, Lift the bulbs in the fall after the foli- 
age begins to turn color and dies down; allow them to 
dry in the sun, then separate the useless old hulb and 
dead foliage from the new bulb. Store the new bulb in 4 
cool dry frost-proof place until time for Spring planting, 
To control Gladiolus thrips, spray regularly with Nicotine 
Pyrox.
