The Long-spiked Modern Gladiolus Are Available in Full Color Range 
SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS AND TUBERS 
Gladiolus and Dahlias provide brilliant summer bloom for 
garden decoration and cutting. Gladiolus may be planted as 
early as the ground is workable. Make successive plantings 
every two weeks until the first of July. Plant the bulbs about 
4 inches deep and 6 inches apart in the rows. Ample moisture 
and frequent cultivation will produce the best spikes. Dust 
the plants frequently with D.D.T. to control thrip where 
present. 
Both Dahlias and Gladiolus thrive best in an open situation 
where there is ample light and air circulation.

stake near each tuber and tie the stalks to the stake as the 
plant grows.
