Excerpt from The Gladiolus for Profit The gladiolus is a plant with long sword-like, pointed leaves from which arises a tall spike closely set with flower buds which open out starting with the lowest one first. The flowers are generally from three to five inches in width and of strong texture. The plant grows out of a bulb (sometimes called a corm) and reproduces itself by means of (l) division of the old bulb into several smaller ones; (2) by means of small offsets about the size of garden peas known as bulblets, and (3) by seed. Reproduction by seed will not enter into our growing plans or system, as reproduction by seed hardly if ever comes true to the parent flower, and is used only by specialists who seek to secure new varieties through examination of the thou sands of seedlings, in an effort to find a variety superior to the parent or to others Reproduction by the bulbs or the bulblets always comes true to the parent variety. This is the method that we will deal with entirely. The life history oi_ a gladiolus bulb is an interesting thing.
