Hi, members

The following URL is not about growing seedlings, but gladiolus
from corms, in Tucson, Arizona. The cultural information may be useful,
even if Tucson is not humid in summer--
http://ag.arizona.edu/~daves/wf_culture.html
It might be worthwhile trying to contact the author at the email
address given, to see if he has tried growing seedlings.
