Our Peerless Gladiolus 
HOW TO GROW GLADIOLUS 
The Gladiolus thrives in a sunny location. Grows in 
any good garden soil, but does much better when the lat- 
ter has been enriched with a fertilizer like Vigoro. If the 
bulbs are planted from mid-April on the blooming period 
will extend until frost. Dig a trench five inches deep and 
an inch of sand placed in the bottom to absorb surplus 
moisture. Set the bulbs eight inches apart and four 
inches deep. 
Before the ground freezes lift the bulbs. After the tops 
dry, they should be cut off, the bulbs separated and the 
small side-growth or bulblets removed. The latter may 
be handled like the big bulbs. Place the bulbs in paper 
or cloth bags, sawdust or sand to prevent them from 
becoming too dry. Keep the bulbs in a temperature of 
about 35 degrees to prevent sprouting.
