Glads Are So Easy To Grow! 
Before planting, we suggest that you soak the 
bulbs in a 712% Semesan solution, sehich you can 
obtain from any drug store. Set the bulbs 4 to 6 
inches deep in good, well drained garden soil, pack- 
ing the earth firmly all around the bulbs. Keep 
bed free from weeds. You will have blooms all sea- 
son if you plant the bulbs in 10-day intervals. Re- 
move bulbs from the ground in the fall before freez- 
ing weather. Clean and dry them, then store in a 
cool, dry cellar, dusting with DDT after they are 
cleaned and dried.
