GLADIOLUS 
There are few flowers to compare with the Gladiolus for all-round usefulness in the home-garden. Their graceful 
form, attractive colors, and characteristic markings have given them the popular name of ‘‘Garden Orchids.” Plant 
the bulbs any time after mid-April up to the end of June, setting them about 4 inches deep and 6 inches apart. For 
a constant supply of flowers for cutting from August to frost, make plantings every week or ten days. Our bulbs 
average 114 inches and over in diameter, which is considered the very best flowering size. Thrips are, possibly, the 
greatest enemy of Gladiolus and we recommend that the bulbs be treated with Semesan before planting. When the 
growth is about 6 inches high, begin spraying with D-X Spray and continue spraying at 10-day intervals to 


protect new growth.
