Description

Three percent CaCN2, 1% KCN, 100% N2 promoted sprouting from dormant corms in summer flowering 'Traveler' gladiolus. One percent C2H4 also promoted sprouting from corms with 30 day cold storage. Hot water and hulling treatments also promoted sprouting. The effect of any treatment was not as great as that shown in corms of spring flowering gladiolus
