GROWING GLADIOLUS FROM SEED 
Always Interesting—Sometimes Very Profitable 
Glads are easily grown from seed. That’s the way new varieties aJn 
started. All the leading new varieties are seedlings. Bulbs grown from seet 
do not come true to name, so you are just as apt to get a choice new varieti 
as anyone. If seed is planted early, a few blooms are usually produced th< 
first year. Pkt., 10c; 3 pkts., 25c; % oz., 50c.
