FRENCH’S SUPERB GLADIOLUS 
Cuture. Gladiolus are easily grown in any ordinary good garden soil, provided the situation is sunny. 
They may be planted in rows, 
beds, or groups 6 inches apart, covered with 3 to 4 inches of soil. Press the 
earth firmly around the bulbs. Water freely but always after sundown and cultivate frequently to prevent 
the surface of the soil from hardening. A succession of blooms can be had by planting the bulbs at intervals 
of two weeks from about April 15 to July 1. 
SMALL-FLOWERED AND MINIATURE 
For decorating the home, they cannot be sur- 
passed. We urge our customers to grow these in 
groups of at least 10 bulbs where possible. For 
arrangements you may need several spikes, and one 
or two bulbs will not be enough.
