GLADIOLUS 
MORE POPULAR THAN EVER—AII Postpaid 
The Gladiolus are the most attractive and useful 
cut flower of all the summer flowering bulbs. The 
long, graceful spikes that carry fifteen to twenty 
buds may be cut soon as the first flower buds show 
color; then, if kept in water each successive bud 
att develop and thus prolong the blooming many 
ays. 
The planting season starts in April, and continues 
until in June, at intervals of two weeks; you thus 
have flowers from late July until frost time. Best 
results are obtained in a sunny position and placing 
the bulbs fully 6 inches deep, Water freely.

Caution 
Be sure and treat all Gladiolus bulbs before 
planting. The past few years there has been great 
damage caused by Gladiolus thrips. They injure the 
foliage and unfolded buds so that they do not open. 
Be on the safe side, whether planting new stock or 
bulbs saved from previous year, treat the bulbs just 
before planting. Semesan or Lysol are very effective 
treatments. 
498 SEMESAN. With full directions, 2-0z. pkg. 60c;

499 LYSOL. 
Directions: Use one teaspoonful to a quart of 
water. For large lots, use one pint to 25 gallons 
water. Heat this solution to about 90 degrees. 
Put the bulbs (in thin cloth bags) into solution. 
Let remain for 8 to 10 hours. Solution need not 
be kept up to 90 degrees, but keep it and the 
room warm while bulbs are soaking. Do not heat 
solution hotter than 90 degrees, somewhat less 
will do, but solution must be warm and room 
warm to get best results.
