Baby Gladiolus 
We have received so many requests for this type of 
small Gladiolus during the last year or two that we 
have decided to offer the best available in the different 
colors. These are often referred to as semi-hardy 
Gladiolus; with protection, the bulbs can be left in the 
ground over winter south of Washington, D. C. Their 
smal] wiry stems and miniature blooms make them 
excellent for cutting for small bouquets. The bulbs 
must be planted very early; therefore, send your order 
as soon as possible.

Mixture of Baby Gladiolus. 25 for $1.75; 50 for 
$3.25; $5.25 per 100. 
Among the showiest of summer-flowering bulbs, lasting into 
the fall. Any good light soil with plenty of humus, in a fairly 
shaded location, will grow good Begonias. Mix a liberal amount 
of woods soil, well-rotted manure, compost or peat moss with 
garden soil to make it light in texture. Water often during dry 
seasons. These bulbs may be grown in window-boxes or large 
pots on shaded porches, or in any good selected spot in the 
garden that is fairly shaded and away from roots of trees that 
might rob them of all moisture and food. Such places as the 
north side of a wall or foundation are ideal. The blooms are 
perfect for cutting, particularly to float in water.
