FEW FLOWERS ARE LOVELIER 
OR EASIER TO GROW 
There are few flowers to compare with the Gladiolus for all-round usefulness in the home- 
garden. Their graceful form, attractive colors, and characteristic markings have given them 
the popular name of ‘‘Garden Orchids.’’ Plant the bulbs any time after mid-April up to the 
end of June, setting them about 4 inches deep and 6 inches apart. For a constant supply of 
flowers for cutting from August to frost, make plantings every week or ten days. Our bulbs 
average 1! inches and over in diameter, which is considered the very best flowering size. 
Thrips are, possibly, the greatest enemy of Gladiolus and we recommend that the bulbs be 
treated with Semesan before planting. When the growth is about 6 inches high, begin spray- 
ing with Deenate 50W and continue spraying at 10-day intervals to protect new growth.
