PARK’S MAGNIFICENT GLADIOLUS 
Cut Flowers for your home from June until Frost 
Perhaps there is not another summer flower more pop- 
ular than the improved Gladiolus. In a bed the plants 
stand erect, bloom freely for many weeks, are showy 
and unequalled for cutting. Set the bulbs 5 in. deep and 
6 in. apart; as hot weather approaches mulch with 
stable litter. Good garden soil, full sun, frequent culti- 
vation around the base of the plant are the requisites 
for best results. Water copiously; as flower buds begin 
to form, apply liquid manure for exhibition spikes. 
Planting may begin as soon as the soil warms in early 
spring, and the last planting should be made about 12 
weeks before the first killing frost. This is July 15 in 
the latitude of New York, and later in the South. By 
planting at two week intervals, bloom may be had from 
late June until frost. 
Our bulbs are clean and healthy, high crown corms, guaranteed to bloom and give you pleasure 
and satisfaction, All are first quality No. 1 Bulbs 1% inches in diameter, treated against thrip 
and disease. Where 1 corm is not priced allow % the 8 rate.
