Gladiolus Culture 
Few flowers compare with Glads for ease of growing, 
color, garden show and cutting purposes. Plant the 
bulbs in clumps of six or more throughout the flower 
border or in double rows in your vegetable patch for 
cutting. They should be placed 6 inches deep and 4 to 
6 inches apart. For the cutting garden, plant double 
rows, allowing 2 or more feet between the rows. 
Gladiolus will grow in any fertile soil in full sun. 
Make the first planting while the ground is still cool and 
continue every three weeks until early June. 
Fertilize with Organic Plant Food (see page 2) when 
growth first appears. Cultivate often and water well 
during warm dry weather. 
Spray with Protexall to keep away any possible 
infestation of thrips (see page 29). DDT sprays have 
proved 100 per cent effective if used every ten days 
from the time Glads are 6 inches tall. They are well 
worth this slight effort. 

Bulbs should be dug, dried and stored before heavy ay 
New Europe frost. re: iets Pinkie
