GLADIOLUS SEED 
The Gladioli is easily grown from seed, and 
we would like to have our customers try 
raising a few in this way. Our seed was all 
saved from choice plants, and by planting 
a package you should get a mixture of all 
colors and shades, spotted, mottled, etc. 
Bulbs raised from seed don’t come true to 
name. You may get some new varieties that 
will make you a fortune. All the leading new 
varieties are seedlings; that’s the way the 
new varieties are started. You are just as 
liable to get a choice new variety as anyone. 
If you don’t, you will get a: fine collection 
worth considerable more than the price of a 
dozen packets of seed. Gladiolus from seed 
do not blossom until the second year.
