CUTTING BLOOM 
The gladiolus is essentially a cut flower. Ordinarily the blooms 
should be cut when the first flower opens. However, some varieties 
fade after cutting and are better if leit to open on the plant. When 
cutting, always leave four to six leaves on the plant to mature the 
bulb. By cutting down beiween the leaves you can get a good stem and 
still let most of the leaves remain on the plant.
