BUNTON’S GLORIOUS GLADIOLUS 
These newer varieties of Modern-Day Gladiolus far surpass the old varieties in every way. Better colors, 
more open florets, larger blooms and longer spikes make gladiolus more popular than ever as a favorite for 
both cut-flowers and the garden. 
Plant some of all these new varieties, learn them by name and you will consider each one a new friend. 
With reasonable care you too can have flower show specimens that will bring you pride and joy. 
Bunton’s gladiolus are grown specifically for the finest bulbs possible. No cut-flowers have been taken 
from these bulbs, to hold the substance of the plant for bulb development only. 
For extra large blooms, plant the bulbs about two inches deep and about three inches apart in the row. 
The rows should be at least twelve inches apart. Gladiolus respond to plenty of water and regular feeding of 
a good complete plant foods such as Bunton’s Lawn and Garden Grower.
