CULTURE 
Gladiolus — Gladiolus can be grown by most anyone in most 
any kind of soil that is not too rich. Plant larger size bulbs in beds 
or rows not less than 6 inches apart for best results. Plant six inches 
deep in light soil or three inches deep in heavy soil. Cultivate 
frequently and give plenty of water, if possible, especially when 
blooming. However, too much water will make weak stems. 
Chrysanthemums — Plant chrysanthemums in average, well- 
drained garden soil dug to a depth of 15 inches. 
Well decomposed cow manure is the best fertilizer. A balanced 
chemical fertilizer may be used with good results. Plant about 
May 10th to June 15th, about 15 to 18 inches apart. Keep well 
cultivated and water when the ground becomes dry. If bothered by 
aphids spray with Black Leaf 40, according to directions. 
Chrysanthemums should have full sunshine if possible.
