GLADIOLUS __ 
From the thousands of gladiolus va- 
rieties today, we have chosen those we 
consider best in their class. Gladioli are 
easy to grow, requiring a well-drained 
soil and a sunny position. Plant bulbs 
about 5 inches deep after danger of frost 
is over. The corms will last for years if 
kept in frostproof storage during the 
winter. 
Our Bulbs are large size, No. 1— 
young, clean stock.
