INDIAN SPRING
BALDWINSVILL
Jt?e)i<\n St?i'in6 F^i'rr^
MILE West of the village of Baldwinsville, New York, the North bank of the Seneca River raises more or less abruptly up to the State Road, which is the main highway between the cities of Rochester and Syracuse. Beyond this road the slope forms a gracefully curved and terraced bluff nearly a mile in length and reaching to an elevation of several hundred feet above the level of the river. The highest crest of this ridge affords a wonderful view up and down the river, and of the surrounding country for miles in every direction. In early days this vantage ground became a permanent encampment of the Onondaga Indians. Their tents were pitched high up on the flat just above and convenient to a natural spring which flows from the side of the hill. Even at this late date the soil on the hill-top clearly defines the limits of their different camps, and buried ash pits mark out the spots where camp and signal fires burned for many moons.
From pioneer days this so called Indian Spring has been a landmark in Central New York State; and it was, indeed, fitting that Mr. F. A. Goodrich, after traveling hundreds of miles throughout the State and finally selecting this location as the most desirable in all the country around, should name his farm, which includes the beautiful terraced bluff overlooking the river and the fertile acres farther back, INDIAN SPRING FARM.

A planting of Gladiolus on the hill- top at Indian Spring Farm
Here on Indian Spring Farm, first as a hobby which ample means permitted him to play to the limit, and later on as a tentative business proposition, because keen business instinct gave him vision of great possibilities, and because he had an ambition that his pleasure might become the foundation of the biggest and best fine-flower business in the world, Mr. Goodrich has been planting and propogating rare and desirable plants in quantity. For several years his purchases have ranked him as the largest buyer of new and high rated varieties of peonies and bulbs in the United States, and any surplus offerings of the really good flowers have found a ready home on Indian Spring Farm.
Beginning with the new year, an association of interests was perfected by which the entire plantings of rare peonies and irises collected by Mr. Harry F. Little of Goodland, Indiana, have been combined with the Goodrich collections; and a strong company formed under the name INDIAN SPRING FARMS, Inc., to take over these combined plantings, and to carry on in a more extensive way the growing and marketing of fine flowers. Mr. Little has moved to Baldwinsville, and has active management of the new business.
Besides the wonderful collection of nearly seven hundred varieties of peonies, many of which are new and hundred varieties of peonies, which this association brings to the new corporation, there are comprehensive collections of the finer gladiolus, irises, tulips, narcissi, lillies, poppies, phloxes, hybrid lilacs, and other choice plants and shrubs now growing at INDAIN SPRING FARM to be offered in season.
A second farm of one hundred twenty acres, conveniently located, has recently been purchased by Mr. Goodrich on which the soil seems especially adapted to the propogation of fine roots and bulbs. This land is also at the disposal of the new corporation, making a holding of 348 acres in all; and it is being carefully prepared and built up for the future plantings of the company.
To you who know the modern Gladiolus, nothing in the way of its introduction need be said. It is to those who are not yet familiar with the possibilities of this most beautiful of all summer flowering bulbs that these lines are written.
Probably no other flower in the whole floral world has ever been developed as fast, or gained the same popularity in as short a time as has the Gladiolus. From a small and obscure flower of a few years back, skillful hybridizers have so remarkably developed the plant, both in size and color of the blooms, and beauty of the foliage, that today the Gladiolus stands in front rank not only in the home garden but also with commercial cut-flower growers, and with the florists who force them by the thousands for every purpose for which flowers are used. Its ease of culture, freedom from disease and long period of bloom place it in a class by itself at the head of the list of satisfactory home garden flowers.
WHERE TO PLANT
Gladiolus will thrive almost any place in any soil that will grow good garden vegetables; but they prefer a rich, well-worked sandy loam and a sunny location with plenty of moisture. Plant them in the border among the hardy perennials, or in special beds, that have been well fertilized, w~here they will receive plenty of air and sunshine, well away from the roots of trees and shrubs, to have them grow sturdy. Do not plant close to walls, or foundations, where they will be deprived of moisture.

million bulblets and not a weed
WHEN TO PLANT
Plant at least part of your bulbs as early in the spring as the ground is fit and the danger of severe freezes is past. Successive planting will lengthen the season of bloom. In order to have continuous bloom throughout the summer, plantings should be made each two weeks from early spring until late in June. As there is quite a difference in the time required for different varieties to come into bloom, it is well to plant of each variety both early and late.
HOW TO PLANT
Prepare the soil at least a foot deep. Plant in clusters, spacing the bulbs 3 to 6 inches apart, or in rows about 20 inches apart, to permit of free and intensive cultivation, and 3 to 5 inches apart in the row. Cover the bulbs with three to six inches of well mellowed earth, depending on the character of the soil. Plant deeper in light soils, and shallower in heavier clay. The deeper planting insures more even moisture, and tends to support the heavy bloom spikes so that staking is not so necessary, while shallow planting is conducive to greater bulblet production.
HOW TO FERTILIZE
Should your soil require enriching, it is best to spade under a good covering of stable manure in the fall, then spade over the bed again in the spring. Stable manure should not be used in the spring on ground where bulbs are to be planted. Bone meal, or pulverized sheep manure, is better then. Bone meal, which is the slower acting, may be worked into the soil when the beds are prepared, or mixed with the top soil in covering the bulbs. Sheep manure is best worked into the top soil liberally at planting time, and worked in between the rows after growth has started.

HOW TO CULTIVATE
Gladiolus require plenty of water. Do not allow the soil to become dry, or hard and baked. If nature does not supply rain and drouth comes, water the glads, not by sprinkling lightly each day, but by soaking the ground thoroughly to a depth of six inches once a week. Hoe or cultivate frequently, particularly after each wetting or rain. Keep the surface of the ground well worked to maintain a fine dust mulch at all times. This will draw and hold the moisture about the roots.
HOW TO CUT
In cutting the flowers remember that the leaves are the lungs of the plant. If you value your bulbs, do not sacrifice their vitality for the sake of long stems. Leave at least four leaves for the new bulbs to grow on, and continue cultivation throughout the summer after the flowers are gone. The best cut flowers are obtained by cutting the spikes in the morning just as the first flowers are opening, and placing them in a vase of fresh, cool water to open indoors away from strong air currents. Each morning pick off any wilted flowers and cut with a sharp knife about one-half inch off each stem; rinse the wet stems thoroughly and give fresh water. With this care the spikes can be bloomed out to the very terminal bud, and they will last for a week or ten days.
If fine specimen blooms, or show flowers, are wanted even at the sacrifice of the bulb, cut the stems as long as possible leaving only the two lower leaves, or no foliage at all. By setting these fresh cut spikes in water- in a cool basement for two or three days to develop slowly, many more flowers may be opened at one time, and very wonderful bloom spikes obtained.
WHEN TO DIG
Gladiolus bulbs are not hardy in this climate and must be dug and stored for the winter. As soon as the
7
foliage begins to turn brown in the fall and before the ground begins to freeze, the new bulbs are matured and ready to be taken from the ground. Dig carefully with a common spading fork, being careful to save the small cormels, or bulblets, if you care to grow them to increase your plantings. Cut the tops off close; and spread the bulbs out in the sun, or in a well ventilated place indoors, till they are thoroughly dry, being careful that they are not caught by frosts at night. When dry, clean off any dirt, break off the old corms and roots, and store the new bulbs in boxes or trays away from heat or frost. A cool, dry cellar is the ideal place.
HOW TO HANDLE BULBLETS
Bulblets should receive special attention, and are best stored by themselves, either stratified in slightly moist sand, or placed where they will not become too dry. If at planting time the shells seem hard and brittle, soak the bulblets in water for twenty-four hours. Plant as early as possible in the spring three inches deep in rows like peas. Quicker and better germination seems to be obtained, if they are planted so close as to almost touch one another. Weed and cultivate them faithfully. Where the soil is nice and mellow, a dust mulch may be maintained by raking over them carefully with a common garden rake even after the growth is several inches above ground.
HOW TO ENJOY YOUE GAEDEN
To get the limit of pleasure from your garden, both for yourself and for your friends, plant named varieties of Glads, and of all other flowers. Preserve the name of each variety, when planted, on a legible garden label prominently placed so all who see may read. This gives a personality to your flowers at blooming time, and adds many fold to the value of your plants, to say nothing of the added pleasure derived from your garden efforts.
