PLANT GLADIOLUS SEEDS AND PRODUCE NEW VARIETIES 
In growing glads from seed remember that no two seedlings will be alike. You can get 
most any color from any cross. 
Plant the seeds shallow like any other seed but as they are rather slow to germinate cover 
them with burlap or other material till the seedlings appear. They should make small to 
medium bulbs the first year and will bloom the second year. Don’t expect too many world 
beaters but you should get a lot of seedlings that will please you and you certainly will geta 
lot of fun growing them. 
All of my seeds are mixed in one big bag. You will get the same kind of seed that I am 
going to plant. These seeds are from the finest named varieties and the finest seedlings in 
my garden. You will have just as good a chance of getting something out of this world as L. 
Whatever you do get it will be yours to name and do with as you please and you will be the 
only one having a glad just like it. 
Why not try some seed this year?
