Kubin Mybridiged Bulls and Seed... 
PROF. CHESTER F. KUHN #25 been a 
student of 
Gladiolus Hybridizing over the past ten years. 
Through his careful study and detailed records 
Professor Kuhn can predetermine color and type 
results in a large percentage of his crosses. 

Until now, this research has been done as a 
hobby, but his friends and the thousands that 
see his seedlings each year have demanded a 
chance to buy bulbs of these new varieties. We 
list them now as another, “Wentworth First.” 

KUHN 1942 INTRODUCTIONS An unconditional guarantee accompanies each 
bulb sold of the Kuhn introductions listed be-

bulbs or the resultant flowers are not entirely satisfactory.

KUHN 1942 PREPAID SEED LIST 
Growing seed is the most interesting division of the Gladiolus hobby. If you have 
never tried producing your own personal varieties that will be different from any other 
Gladiolus in the world, this is your chance. It will take a little extra care and work on 
your part but after you bloom your first seedling remember | warn you that from then on 
you will be classed as a Gladiolus nut. 
TO ORDER—Order seeds by the identification number, such as 341. The 41 before it 
is the year hybridized. First parent is the seed parent, second is the 
pollen parent. Full cultural directions sent with each order. 


@PRICED:—5 Seeds for $.15; 10 for $.25; 25 for $.50. 


41-330 (ALGONQUIN X MEMORY OF HINDENBURG.) 
This cross should yield 100% red seedlings of varying 
shades. The excellent habits of ALGONQUIN and the 
gorgeous color and huge floret of MEMORY OF HINDEN- 
BURG ought to show up in some of them. 
41-339 (MRS. MARK’S MEMORY X TAKINA.) This 
combination should produce many huge flowered and strong 
growing seedlings in shades of rose and purple, with both 
plain and ruffled petals. 


41-335 (ROYAL GOLD X PICARDY.) Yes, we arelooking 
for that yellow PICARDY. At any rate, we have crossed 
two good glads, each of which ought to bring something 


41-331 (WENONAH X GRETA GARBO.) Both of the 
parents in this cross are free openers. The offspring should 

open 8-10 blooms and should run through a wide range of 
color in salmon, pink, and blush. Both large and medium 
flowered varieties should appear. é; 
41-332 (CARILLON X RED LORY.) The purpose of this 
cross is to combine the beautiful floret and graceful stem 
of CARILLON with the capacity to open many florets at 
once as found in RED LORY. A full range of pink, salmon, and 
red seedlings may logically be expected. 

41-333 (GRETA GARBO X PICARDY.) This combination 
of two fine vigorous varieties ought to produce large flowered 
seedlings of unusual stamina in all the shades of salmon and 
pink. Nice plump seeds which ought to produce some real 
winners. 


41-334 (LORD SELKIRK X MARGARET BEATON.) The 
seedlings from this cross should be almost 100% white 
and creamy white, and very nearly all of them ought to 
carry the Beaton blotch either lightly or heavily. Both 
ruffled and plain florets of medium to medium large size 
should appear, and some of the seedlings ought to carry 
the ability of LORD SELKIRK to open 10-14 blooms at once. 

of value to the other. Seedlings should show the opening 
capacity of ROYAL GOLD as well as the fine habits of 
PICARDY. Color should vary widely, from cream and yellow 
through all the shades of salmon and pink. 

41-336 (INCENSE X SEEDLING 34-62 (Souvenir X 
Mibloom.) This cross has yielded some extremely fragrant 
seedlings for us. Colors range widely through yellow, salmon 
pink, and rose, and the florets tend to be rather small. 
Seedlings from this cross make ideal material for further 
breeding in fragrance. 


41-337 (PFITZER’S MASTERPIECE X RED LORY.) Most 
of the seedlings from this cross should hold 8-10 blooms 
open. Colors will be largely pink, red, and rose. Both of 
these parents have proved to be very vigorous parents 
for us, and we hope that at least a few of these seedlings 
will combine the best features of both of the parents. 


41-341 (SIR GALAHAD X MARGARET BEATON.) 
Blotches are becoming more and more popular in glads. 
These two fine blotched varieties should produce interesting 
seedlings in white, cream, and buff, with unusual floret 
forms and markings.
