Simple Rules of GLADIOLUS CULTURE 
1. Glads do best in full sun and must have at least a half-day 
when the sun can reach them. 
2. Any good garden soil will grow glads. Rotted manure is desir- 
able. Use a side dressing of commercial fertilizer (5-10-10) when 
the bulbs are up. 
3. Plant six inches deep. Space the bulbs so the crowns are four 
inches apart in the row. 
4, After the plants have the fourth leaf they need to be kept wet 
till the florets are open. 
5. Hoe, weed and cultivate, the more the better. 
Use a water soluble DDT 5% spray or 5% dust once every two 
or three weeks from the time the glads start to grow to control 
thrips. 
7. It is best to dip bulbs before planting. Dip 10 minutes in mixture 
of 2 oz. of Tersan 75 to one gallon of water. Keep the mixture 
well mixed while the bulbs are being dipped. 
When shipped by us these bulbs are true to name, sound, healthy, 
and well packaged. As we have no control over the bulbs after 
they leave our hands, we are not responsible for the crop. We 
will be liable only for the purchase price of the bulbs, at the time 
that you receive the package.
