Few flowers stand as proud as a spike of gladiolus. Matthew Crawford lays out the practical culture of the plant, from corm to bloom, with Dr. Van Fleet's appendix and later addenda for the serious grower. Soil, planting, and the art of the perfect flower spike. A trim, expert treatise for the gardener who wants a tall, blazing summer border.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
