Gladiolus Are Called 
"The Queenof Flowers" 
Gladiolus are very aptly called 
the “Queen of Flowers.” They 
are the most universally grown of 
all flowers, doing well practically 
anywhere, in all sorts of cli- 
mates. And no other flower offers 
such a wide variety of beautiful 
colors, including the scarce blues 
and lavenders. 
They make a colorful show in 
your -garden, and can’t be beat 
as a cut flower. Cut them when 
the first few flowers on the bot- 
tom of the spike are opening, 
and the other buds will open 
successively up the stem over a 
period of several days, giving 
you a long-lasting bouquet. 
And since their spikes of 
blooms are tall, it is no trick 
at all to make a striking, pro- 
fessional looking arrange- 
ment. 
Glads Are Easy to Grow 
All gladiolus ask is ordinary 
“potato” care, fairly rich, well- 
drained garden soil, and full sun- 
shine. Set the bulbs 4 inches 
deep—a little deeper in loose, 
sandy soil. Every ten days make 
additional plantings up to July 1 
and you will have blooms com- 
ing on all summer and fall. 
Money-Saving 
MIDDLE SIZE 
Here is a real money 
saver! This mixture 
gives you a beautiful as- 
sortment of all kinds and 
colors. Included are some 
of the most expensive va- 
rieties we offer. Bulbs 
are middlesize and will 
bloom this year. 
BG585X — 20 bulbs for 
57c, postpaid. 
BG586X —40 bulbs for 
1.08, postpaid. 
After the tops start to turn 
brown, or frost kills them, dig 
the bulbs. A regular spading fork 
works nicely. Cut the tops off 
about half an inch above the 
bulb. 
Store the bulbs in shallow 
crates in a cool well ventilated 
cave or basement. The bulbs 
may be cleaned any time during 
the winter, but they clean best 
about a month after digging.
