of Gladiolus 
8368 Burpee’s Fordhook Hybrids 
This is a special Burpee strain of Gladiolus, representing a 
magnificent, colorful mixture of only large-flowered spikes in 
an array of colors that defies description. Every one of the

time. This is not merely a bulb mixture of the named 
varieties, but it was originally grown from Burpee’s Ford- 
hook Hybrid Gladiolus seed. Continued elimination of 
plants which were not up to the highest standard has made
