GLADIOLUS 
We believe that gladiolus are among the 
best for cut flower purposes. They make 
up easily into bouquets which last for many 
days. Florists are lost when the gladiolus 
season is over, as their best arrangements 
are generally made with these flowers. 
They require very little room—the smallest 
of gardens can hold 100 bulbs. Gladiolus 
do best in full sun and plenty of moisture 
with good drainage. Spray if there is any 
possibility of trips. They require some fer- 
tility, but will do well without it, providing 
there is plenty of moisture. 


Unless noted all bulbs are large bloom- 
ing size bulbs. 
Only the very best varieties for both 
commercial and exhibition purposes are 
listed. A planting circular on gladiolus 
will be sent with every order.
