BULBS AND ROOTS 
GLADIOL!I 
One of the most at 
tractive of summer flow- 
ering bulbs is the glad- 
iolus. A nice feature of 
this bulb is the culture. 
It does not require very 
much attention and only 
takes the usual amount 
of watering that is given 
any ordinary garden. In 
setting out the bulbs, try 
to select a sunny spot of 
fairly rich soil and spade 
deeply, then place your 
bulb firmly 4 to 5 inches 
the surface, and 
about the same distance 
apart.
