Large flowering Gladiolus 
The Gladiolus are now greatly favoured flowers and need no lengthy descrip- 
tion. The improved strain of these magnificent flowers produces enormous spikes 
of very large and strikingly coloured blooms of enchanting beauty. They have a 
very commanding appearance in borders, in groups among shrubs where they 
remain in bloom for a considerable time, while they are also greatly praised as 
cut flowers for bouquets and vases. 
Culture: plant your Gladioli 3 to 4 inches deep and 5 to 6 inches apart in a 
well drained and good garden soil from the beginning of March at intervals until 
the middle of May, in order to have flowers in succession from July until early 
autumn. Do not add fresh manure. Gladioli like a sunny and a from wind 
sheltered position. It is advisable to change the location of your Gladiolus-plant- 
ings every year. 
The prices quoted are for Large and Jumbo bulbs.
