Plant Isulbs for Summer Months of Isloom 
Gladioli 
Colorful and dependable, gladioli are invaluable for 
the summer garden. They provide great substance and 
beauty when planted in the garden beds and borders 
in large groups set among perennials and annuals. 
Grown in separate beds by themselves they can become 
an all-summer reservoir of cut flowers of unrivalled 
beauty. 
The following selected list includes the better recent 
introductions as well as the best of the older varieties. 
All bulbs are top-sized and high-crowned. Shipment 
is made in April and early May, and bulbs planted then 
are least troubled by thrips. However, bi-weekly plant- 
ings for successive blooms may be made up to July 1. 
All shipments are accompanied by cultural directions.

Tigridias, or Mexican Shellflowers, are admired by 
all who grow them for their brilliant and exotic beauty. 
Each large, triangular flower of silky, glossy texture 
lasts but a day, though others come along so that some- 
times four or five blooms appear successively on the 
same stalk from mid-July to frost. They like loamy gar- 
den soil with plenty of sun and moisture.
