CULTURAL 
DIRECTIONS 
Plant the bulbs 4 
inches deep and at 
least 6 inches apart 
\ in good garden soil. 
\’ Gladiolus may be 
iplanted as soon as 
the ground is ready 
in Spring, and continuous 
blooms may be obtained 
by periodic plantings until 
July. Our bulbs are all 
No. 1 large size. We do 
not handle the small 
§grade, which seldom give 
satisfaction, nor do we 
handle the very large 
bulbs which are no better 
but more expensive.
