How to Grow Good 
Gladiolus 
Open rows or trenches 6 inches deep 18 to 
20 inches apart. Set bulbs in trenches. Six 
inches is deep planting, which slows appear- 
ance of sprout through ground, but protects 
from late frosts. By planting in this manner 
they will stand heavy winds, and extreme hot 
er rainy weather better. Cover bulbs with an 
inch of soil, then sprinkle down liberally with 
sheep fertilizer or bone meal. Fill in rest of 
trench with soil and FIRM DOWN by walking 
on rows, or with lawn roller to eliminate air 
pockets around bulbs. If soil is dry when 
planted, water thoroughly after planting. If 
planted in beds, set bulbs about 6 inches apart. 
Keep soil loose and free from weeds 
ALWAYS. Never permit caking or crusting of 
of soil after rains or watering. KEEP CULTI- 
VATING. The more you do, the better your 
plants and flowers for many reasons. 
Water when necessary, then soak them. 
Sprinkling has a tendency to draw roots UP 
for moisture. Send the water DOWN tto the 
roots.
