Bulbs for ITlonths 
G ladiol 
Gladioli are rightly given first consideration in 
selecting bulbs for summer gardens. Indeed, if you 
grew no other summer flowers except successive 
plantings of gladioli you would still have a long sea- 
son of colorful garden bloom, as well as a plentiful 
reservoir of beautiful cut flowers. Their wide color 
range includes shades of nearly every color in the 
spectrum. They may be grown among perennials 
and annuals or in beds by themselves and they 
should be planted in profusion so as to assure a 
constant supply of bloom. 
The following selected list includes the better re- 
cent introductions as well as the best of the older 
varieties. All bulbs are top-sized and high-crowned. 
Shipment is made in April and early May, and bulbs 
planted then are least troubled by thrips. However, 
bi-weekly plantings for successive blooms may be 
made up to July |. All shipments are accompanied 
by cultural directions.
