28 GIRARD BROTHERS NURSERY, GENEVA, OHIO 
GLADIOLUS 
We believe that gladiolus are among the 
best for cut flower purposes. They make 
up easily into bouquets which last for 
many days. They require very little room 
—the smallest of gardens can hold 100 
bulbs. Gladiolus do best in full sun and 
plenty of moisture with good drainage. 
Spray if there is any possibility of thrips. 
They require some fertility, but will do 
well without it, providing there is plenty 
of moisture.
