WE THINK THIS LIST IS FUSARIUM FREE STOCK 
Due to the climate, our soil temperature is not high 
enough to make Fusarium propagate. We try to take the 
best care of our stock. It is rogued, watered if neces- 
sary, and hand sorted an extra time before shipping. We 
have found that we do not have fusarium on stock produced 
from bulblets that we grew here. We can take a stock of 
bulbs from another district which has fusarium and in 
three seasons eliminate the infection. 
Varieties we have not grown three years are not in- 
cluded in list.

O. Re. Roe -~= GLADS -- Supplied the Picardy stock for 
this research from its start. 
WE THINK THIS LIST IS FUSARIUM FREE STOCK 
Our Picardy has been grown by us since 1957, without 
addition. We plant on new land each year, that has never 
before grown gladiolus. Beside being apparently free 
from fusarium it, too, is practically clear of white break 
and mild mosaic. This year our bulbs are grown on light 
soil to eliminate dry rot. (This is our best control). 
Our Corona has been on our place since 1942. 
Our Picardy and Corona stocks are about equal in 
Size. Together they comprise more than one-fourth of our 
1951 acreage. 
This year we list Leading Lady, Red Charm, and Spot- 
light (somewhat mixed with Stoplight, next year we drop 
Stoplight so it won't happen again.) These have shown no 
fusarium this year. 
WE THINK THIS LIST IS FUSARIUM FREE STOCK 
Let a trial demonstrate the difference 
on your farm 
in yields from fusarium free stock.
