GLADIOLUS 

The Cream of the World’s 
Best Varieties 
Curtrure.—Any good garden soil will grow Gladioli well, provided they are planted in a sunny loca- 
tion. Corms should be 4 inches deep and at least 6 inches apart; frequent cultivation with a hoe or a weeder, 
around the base of the plant, is advisable. For best results, we recommend plants being staked when one 
foot high. (We offer light green dyed bamboo canes, which are excellent for this purpose.) Water if needed, 
and as the flower-buds begin to form, apply liquid manure for exhibition spikes. _ 
May be planted at intervals for a succession of bloom, and those held for planting should be kept cool. 
Patrons who plant late for September flowers may order in the spring; we will keep corms in cold storage 
and ship them when required, up to July 15, which, in the latitude of New York, is the latest advisable 
date to plant. 
From planting-date, blooms appear in 10 to 13 weeks. 
We supply 25 or more corms of a variety at the 100 rate
