THE GLADIOLUS

'T^HE GLADIOLUS is fast becoming the most popular summer flower. Its stately spikes of wonderful color combinations are a constant source of joy and compel the admira- tion of all. The strides that have been made in the improvement of this flower in recent years give us varieties today that far surpass those of even a few years ago. The enthusi- astic flower-lover will appreciate some of these newer sorts.

The Primulinus type is particularly valu- able for its graceful and dainty blooms, rather than for massiveness. They are indispensable for home decoration.

The Gladiolus is particularly valuable as a cut flower. A row of bulbs planted in the vegetable garden will produce blooms for this purpose without robbing the flower borders.

Orders received will be filled out exactly as ordered so long as our stock lasts. When it is impossible to do this we will substitute other sizes or varieties of equal or better value unless otherwise instructed. It might be well to state second choice.

Culture

Plant out as soon as all danger of frost is over — on the Coast about April 1. Do not plant where development will be retarded by other root growth. Rich soil is advisable, but do not put too strong fertilizers near the bulb. Give them plenty of water. Plant 3 inches deep.
