Dear sirs: My experience in growing Gladiola from Burpee seed - Fordhook Hybrids - has been so interesting and pleasurable, that I have been tempted to recount it. I hope it will prove equally interesting to those who may read it. sincerely yours, C.C. Straughn, M.D. [[stamped]] JUN 18 1925 [[/stamped]]
