Digging the trench requires little effort when using modern equip- 
ment as shown in this picture taken at our gladiolus plots at Cologne, 
Minnesota. This provides the correct depth for individual planting 
of bulbs that produce prize-winning gladiolus for us. 

Irrigation is highly essential for the growth of first class spikes 
and bulbs. Water is ditched to our planting plots from a nearby 
lake, if rainfall is not sufficient to assure the necessary moisture..
