Last yr. I bought some gladiolus [small size variety] do you think?

i had the same problem.. i bought some and completely forgot i had them.. what i did was soak them in water for a couple days... if they started growing roots then i planted them... i actually had most of them that turned out really pretty.... i only threw like 3 bulbs away out of 15.....i would try that and if you get roots then plant them make sure you plant them roots down or your plants will grow crooked.. good luck... keep the water level up and in some sun light! good luck.. dont give up with out a fight!
