bulbs for MWlonths 
Gladiol 
Traditionally gladioli are given first consideration in se- 
lecting bulbs for summer gardens. Rightly so as gardeners 
know that if they grew no other summer flowers except suc- 
cessive plantings of gladioli they would still have a long sea- 
son of colorful garden bloom, as well as a bountiful reservoir 
of beautiful flowers for cutting. Their wide color range in- 
cludes shades of nearly every color in the spectrum. They 
may be placed 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 recent 
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 trou- 
bled by thrips. However, bi-weekly plantings for successive 
blooms may be made up to July |. All shipments are accom- 
panied by cultural directions.
