GLADIOLUS SEED AND BULB LIST

RUSSELL B. KELLY
Gladiolus Hybridizer
MERRIMAC MASSACHUSETTS

Again I present my annual list of gladiolus bulbs, hand
pollinated seed and unbloomed seedling bulbs. As I am listing
only my own introductions this season, I wish to refer customers
for other varieties to Burton Le Spiller, East Rochester, Ne He
who can supply clean healthy bulbs of the best newer varieties
at very reasonable prices.

In order to cut expenses I am putting out a much cheaper
type of list this season and I hope the quality of my stock
will not be judged by the quality of my list. It should be re-
membered that it is the buyer, not the grower, who in the end
pays for the beautiful catalogs, I am sure that if you favor me
with an order you will be more than pleased with the high
quality of the stock you receive as well as the very generous
overcount and extras,

GUARANTEE

All stock guaranteed true to name and free of disease
and insectse If upon receipt of order you are not satisfied
in every way, return bulbs and your money will be refunded.
Safe delivery of all shipments is guaranteede

THRMS

Cash with order. No C.0.D. No order for less than $2,00
All orders except for bulb trays will be sent postpaid,
I give very liberal overcount and extras instead of discount.
All stock subject to prior sales

IT IS EASY TO GROW GLADS FROM SEED

Every hybridizer has his pet method of growing glad seed.

Many of these are quite complicated and few produce better germe
ination or larger bulbs than the easy method outlined below.

Any good well drained garden soil will grow gladiolus seed
without any special preparation outside of plowing and harrowing
the same as for bulbs,

Seeds should be planted in the open ground as early in the
spring as the soil can be worked, Seed beds are made 4 feet wide
and any length desired, by smoothing and leveling soil with a rake.
A good commercial fertilizer should be raked into the surface soil
at the rate of 5 or 6 pounds per 100 square feet; I use 41216.
Seeds should be dusted with Arasan and sown in rows 8 inches apart
and the length of the bed, spacing seeds about + inch apart and
covering with not over 4 inch of soile

Until seedlings reach a hight of about two inches it is very
essential thet they be shaded at all times, I use lath shades, made
by nailing laths on two pieces of 1 inch by 2 inch stock, and space
ing so as to leave 1 inch between laths, These shades should be set
on supports so as to be about 8 inches above the surface of the
soil, When seedlings are about 2 inches high shades should be re-
moved for a few hours each day for 5 or 6 days, at the end of
which time they should be removed entirelye

It is better to keep seed beds on the dry side until plants
are well established, as too much water will encourage damping-offe
If lack of rain makes watering necessary it should be done not
oftener than once a week, A thotrough soaking to a depth of several
inches, once a week, is far better than a light watering every few
dayse

A side dressing of 4=12-16 commercial fertilizer, at the rate
of 4 pounds to 100 square feet, should be applied about the last of
July and cultivated in. Soil between rows should be kept cultivated
at all times especially during dry weather,

Do not use the 2=4-D soil treatment on land that is to be used
for seed beds as it will retard and sometimes prevent the germin=
ation of gladiolus sced,

If the above directions are followed ther is no reason why one
should not dig at least 75% blooming size bulbs.

GLADIOLUS SEED

All seeds in the following list are from hand pollinated blooms
and every cross has been made with the utmost care to assure you of
true parentages. Many of the following crosses have been made with
some of my best undisseminated seedlings, and so have never been made
by anyone before,

The first named variety in each cross is the seed parent,

DESCRIPTIONS AND PARENTAGES OF SEEDLINGS USED IN FOLLOWING CROSSES
1-44-28 Rosa Van Lima x Early Rose Very early salmon with
white throat. Tall, long flowerhead.
1-44-34 Rosa Van Lima x Early Res@ Early light rose. Long

FIRST YEAR UNBLOOMED SEEDLING BULBS

These bulbs are all from hand pollinated seed and have never bloomed,
All are blooming sizee Since my seed was sown on land that had growm glads
the year before, it is possible that one or two named varieties may show
up among the seedling bulbs, However, there should not be more than one or
two in a 100, I will give very generous overcount .
