PLAYTHINGS 



This is the term one of our customers applies to 

 Gladiolus Bulblets. He writes: " I wish to buy several 

 dozen playthings (bulblets) for my garden next year." 

 It occurs to us that a few Canadian enthusiasts might 

 like to play with a few bulblets of some of the newer 

 varieties. Grow them for two years and you'll have 

 Cowering sizes.
