THE NEW MAGIC OF GLAD BREEDING 
Announcing: 
Blue Blood (IH) Class 576 
Driven Snow (I) Class 200 
Blue Eyes (I) Class 371 
(IH) designates Inbred Hybrid. (I) designates Inbred 
Blue Blood (IH) is, to the best of my knowledge, the first inbred hybrid, not only of 
gladiolus but of any vegetatively propagated plant, offered for sale. This includes anything 
produced from bulbs, corms, rootings or cuttings and can be applied as well to potatoes, 
dahlias, lilies, fruit trees, roses and other ornamental trees and shrubs. 
It is the same magic which now is working wonders with varieties of corn, tomatoes, 
eggplants, zinnias, hogs, cucumbers, chickens and many other varieties of plants and ani- 
mals. This is the same process used by W. Atlee Burpee & Co., to produce its most highly 
advertised varieties of vegetables and flowers on the famous Fordhook breeding farms.
