GLADIOLUS SEED 
The greatest thrill to a gladiolus grower comes from raising seedlings. 
The elements of chance and suspense appeal to all of us. We are willing 
to gamble a little time on the hope that we may be able to produce a 
wonderful new glad. There are a few catalobuers who offer seed for sale, 
As an answer to many requests we are making available to our customers both 
open pollinated (chance) and hand pollinated seed. 
OPEN POLLINATED SEED (chance) 
We have earefully selected parents from which to take selected chance 
seeds. These were in ovr Trial Garden where the bees have a choice of the 
worlds best from which to take pollen, Many of the varieties at present 
retail from $3.00 to $10.00 per single bulb, We are offering these seeds 
in limited quantity. Please state whether you want seeds taken from large 
type or miniature gladiolus.

ground warms up in the spring (when Maple leaves begin to open). Keep 
the ground loose and free from weeds all through the growing season and 
water every week or two with a solution of Rapidgro after they are well 
started. Dig in the fall and care for as you would small gladiolus bulbs 
grown from bulblets. If you wish an added thrill, keep them under label 
until you see them bloom. Only a limited number of each cross availabley 
please give second choices
