20 GLADRIDGE GARDENS 


Gladiolus Seeds 
We offer a new thrill to our customers — that of growing glads from seed. New 
varieties with the exception of sports are developed and selected from bulbs grown from 
seed. Each seed (even from the same pod) will be a different new glad with character- 
istics of its own. The percentage of good ones will be small, but you will find many 
you will enjoy growing and the chance always exists that you may be lucky enough to 
find something outstanding. 
To grow seeds into bulbs plant them a little less than an inch deep in a well 
prepared seed bed. Keep them well watered and in partial shade. Most seeds will develop 
into large enough bulbs to bloom the next year with good culture. Then you can select 
the i you want to save and increase your stock by growing the bulblets attached to 
the bulb. 
All seed crosses offered here were made by Rev. William J. Single. We know he 
has done a careful conscientious job of hybridizing. The first variety listed is the seed 
parent, the second the pollen parent. 
Please order these seeds in units of 5 by number. They are priced at 5c each. 
Please give us your second choice as we expect many crosses will sell out early.

MIXTURES 
We recommend these mixtures as just the thing for those who do not care to keep 
the names of varieties separate, but do want a nice garden of glads. Our mixtures 
are hand made of a well balanced selection of colors. If named these bulbs would cost 
several times the price asked here. The exhibition mixture contains many of the 
higher priced varieties. All collections postpaid.
