Gladiolus Seed 
Why not try growing some seed? Growing seedlings is one of the most in¬ 
triguing and pleasurable phases of growing glads. They are as easy to raise as bulb- 
lets and though you may not get any world beaters you do stand as good a chance 
as anyone of getting outstanding seedlings and even if you don’t get any worthy of 
introduction you will certainly produce some that you will like better than many 
named varieties. Every bulb will be different. Complete instructions for growing 
the seed go with each package. 
The difference in prices of the following is partly because of the amount of 
stock on hand, some crosses being more difficult to make than others, and partly 
due to the varieties being newer and more valuable. 
The first variety mentioned in each cross is the seed bearing parent.

“ The PALMER varieties sure are the best. For the first time I showed blooms this 
year. At the show of the New Hampshire Federation of Garden Clubs a spike of BAG¬ 
DAD look first for the best single spike of the show. PICARDY took a first for the best 
collection of three spikes and I won a second for a mixed basket of PALMER varieties. 
This basket the judges told me was very fine but according to the rules they had to take off 
points because of the foliage I used so I lost another first. 
“PICARDY from medium bulbs was unbelievable. Three spikes from the medium 
bulbs were good enough to win a first for the best three spikes at the New Hampshire 
Federation of Garden Clubs Show. I wouldn’t have believed it that they would grow so 
big if I hadn’t planted them myself.” — Norman N. Mason, N. H. 
“/ saw your display at Sioux City last year and can truthfully say that your dis¬ 
play was tops, especially BEACON.” — Guy C. Spf:ra, Iowa.
