Four years ago I purchased one-fourth ounce of Burpees "Fordhook Hybrid" Gladiola seed and planted them in a cold frame. I secured several blooms the first year and harvested over four hundred Bulbs. Practically all of the Bulbs bloomed the second year and the colorings and markings run the gamut of possibilities. I did not have use for the cold frame the following year and to my surprise it sprouted with Gladiola plants as thickly as when originally seeded. My second years harvest was as large as the first. It has been left undisturbed as has repeated itself each year.
