Outstanding G ladiolua 
Including Many of the Newest and Latest Introductions 
There is no other summer-flowering bulb that is enjoying so great popularity as the Gladiolus. Their adaptability to garden decoration or to 
use as cut flowers during the summer and early autumn is surpassed by no other flower. They are not only showy in the garden, but when 
cut with the first flower open will last for ten days 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.
