OUTSTANDING SELECTION OF THE CHOICEST LARGE FLOWERED GLADIOLI 
Select a sunny location away from the roots of shrubs and trees; 
plant 4 to 6 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart in a well worked 
trench in staggered rows. Be sure to keep well watered at all times, 
also keep the soil loose. 
Fall fertilizing of the ground-sélected for Gladioli with well rotted 
cowmanure and coarse bonemeal is advisable, leaving the ground 
rough. In case this was not done, either cowmanure or a well balanced 
fertilizer should be applied and worked into the soil before planting. 
At the time of bud forming, a light application of ammonium sulphate 
after a heavy rain and before cultivating, will bring out the color 
and increase the size of the florets and length of spikes. 
Although our Gladioli are guaranteed to be free from thrips, these 
insects can be easily transmitted from elsewhere. It is thereby advisable 
to watch for them when plants are about 3 inches tall and if found, 
spray weekly with D. D. T.; one pound to 100 gallons of water.
