GLADIOLUS BREEDING —By J. A. Kemp. 
This little work is intended as a trustworthy guide (for the 
inexperienced) to successful breeding of the Gladiolus, and its 
writing was prompted by the numerous requests that came to me 
from many parts of the country. It is written in plain English, 
stripped of technical terms, so that any one can comprehend it 
and with a little practice be able to successfully cross pollenize 
the Gladiolus. There is nothing difficult to learn about this 
work, any one can do the mechanical part of it, and this little 
booklet tells you just how it is done, and how to grow and care 
for the seedlings until fruition, selection of varieties for further 
trial, etc. Price 50 cents per copy. 
Will be given free to all my 1937 customers who order bulbs 
to the value of $3.00 or over. 
But one copy to a customer.
