Gladiolus Seed 1942 
I did not intend to list seed in my catalog as I thought I would not have room but I 
-have found I can spare space in this price list. Order early as usually some crosses are sold 
out long before the end of the season. | 
Growing gladiolus seed is one of the most interesting parts of the game. You may not 
get any World Beaters from seed and yet you have as good a chance as anyone else. These 
seeds listed below are from the same crosses that the grower uses himself. He has made crosses 
of what seemed to him to be most promising and you might get something that would be a 
World Beater. But even if you didn’t no doubt many of the seedlings would be something 
that you would like. Every seedling will be different. Y 
In sowing seed you can sow them in frames and nowadays many people are sowing them 
out in the open, but they want to be sown shallow and covered with something until they 
germinate. The bulbs you get the first year will be anywhere from a No. 6 to even a large 
bulb. It depends on the growing conditions. You should get blooms the second year, though 
you can’t tell definitely what a certain seedling will be like until it blooms from bulblets, as 
they often change somewhat the second or third time they bloom. But when you get blooms 
from bulblets they are usually set by that time and do not change afterwards.
