HOW TO GROW GLADIOLUS 
Plant in spring soon as heavy frosts are over. In mild climate plant in late fall until 
mid-July. Where the winters are severe, plant in April and May. Plant in full sun. 
GROWING 
Do not use dressing too freely. A little bone meal or other dressing dug deep into the 
ground will produce larger blooms. When planting, never allow the bulbs to touch the 
fertilizer. Cultivate freely. When cutting the blooms always leave at least five leaves on 
plant. 
DIGGING and STORING 
Dig the bulbs from six weeks to two months after flowering. Cut tops close to bulb and 
burn the tops. Store bulbs in shallow boxes or bags, in a cool well ventilated, frost proof 
room. Remove old corms from the new bulbs, when they come off easily.
