72 SPRINGBROOK GARDENS — MENTOR, OHIO 
GAY COLORFUL GLADIOLUS 
For Summer Show and Cutflowers 
Few flowers compare with ‘“Glads’”’ for color in the 
garden and for cutting. Make the first planting while 
the ground is still cool and continue every three weeks 
until late June. 
The bulbs should be planted 6-inches deep and 4 to 5 
inches apart. Plant in groups of 10 to 15 bulbs in the 
flower border or in rows in the cutting garden. 
Feed when growth is 6 to 8 inches tall, cultivate often 
and water well during Summer dry spells.
