Gladiclus 
King of the Summer Cut Flowers 
Gladiolus may be planted any time from early 
spring to June; planting at intervals will prolong 
the blooming season. 
Any good garden soil is satisfactory but must 
be well drained. Plant 5 to 6 inches deep. 
If commercial fertilizer is used it should be 
well mixed with the soil. If manure is used it 
should not come in contact with the bulb. A light 
top dressing of fish meal tankage or sheep guano 
will be very beneficial when the flower buds 
begin to show. 
If thrips are prevalent in your community it will 
be wise to start spraying or dusting your plants 
when they are about six to eight inches high, 
using either a water soluble 50% DDT spray or 
5% DDT dust.
