This support consists of two parallel strands of wire seven inches apart and has cross wires about every six inches. This wire is simply tacked on to the tops of stakes driven into the ground. You can have them any height you want but for glads about eighteen inches is a good height. This might be too high for some short varieties but should be high enough for most kinds.

This support consists of two parallel strands of wire seven inches apart and has cross wires about every six inches. This wire is simply tacked on to the tops of stakes driven into the ground. You can have them any height you want but for glads about eighteen inches is a good height. This might be too high for some short varieties but should be high enough for most kinds. Of course for very tall growing varieties that are inclined to crook the wooden stake is the best support but where glads are planted fairly shallow so as to get the best increase a wire support of this sort is very useful. It keeps the plants right up straight and there is no danger of them falling over into the row. It can be used many years. Price for a full roll of 500 feet is $ f. o. b. Joilet, Illinois. For less than a full roll price is 2 cents per foot f. o. b. Burlington. No orders taken for less than 25 feet. 'I want to congratulate you on the growing of fine bulbs. The bulbs I re- ceived last spring were truly wonderful. I have about 160 of the better varieties of glads. I won several blue ribbons on them at Bay City North Eastern Glad- iolus Society last August winning two silver cups. I won a beautiful cup on best three spikes which were Picardy and the bulbs were purchased from you. Duna. Magna Blanca, Debonair and many others u>ere wonderful.' Frank W.
