A FEW SIMPLE RULES FOR GLADIOLUS CULTURE 
They do best in full sun and must have at least a half-day 
when the sun can reach them for best results. 
Any good garden soil will grow Glads. Rotted manure is de- 
sirable at bottom of hole with a little dirt between this and 
the bulb. A side dressing of commercial fertilizer (3-10-10) 
at planting time is, quite often, very beneficial. 
Plant 5 or 6 inches deep, spacing them so they are approxi- 
mately 4 inches apart in the row. 
After the plants have their fourth leaf they should be kept 
well watered until the florets are open. 
Keep well cultivated and weeded, the more the better. 
Use a good insecticide spray every two or three weeks from 
the time the Glads start to grow to control its worst enemy, 
the Gladiolus thrip. This is important where this pest is 
prevalent. It is a very good idea to soak bulbs before plant- 
ing. Soak four hours in a solution of one tablespoonful of 
Lysol to one gallon of water. 
Here’s hoping you get as much pleasure out of growing Glads 
and Dahlias as we do and by providing you with nothing but 
the highest quality stock, at reasonable prices, that we can 
continue to supply you with glamorous flowers. 
We welcome correspondence with Dealers and Commercial 
Bee in regard to your requirements for Gladiolus stock 
of all sizes.
