GLADIOLUS- Ju Captivating Shades | 
There is no other summer-flowering bulb that is enjoying so great popul 
decoration or to use as cut flowers during the summer and early 
in the garden, but when cut with the first flower open will last for ten days 
arity as the Gladiolus. Their adaptability to garden 
autumn is surpassed by no other flower. They are not only showy 
in the house. While they thrive in almost any good 
garden soil, better results may be had if soil is well prepared and enriched with some of our pulverized manures. Plant bulbs 
4 to 6 inches deep and from 4 to 6 inches apart.
