Forced Gladioli are a Splendid Article and You Should Realize the 

 Importance of Making a Liberal Planting of Them 



For successful forcing of Gladioli it is vital not to use *'picked-up" or "bargain" lots; most of the time 

 you will find yourself disappointed. For forcing, a Bulb should be used containing absolute "FORCING 

 QUALITY," by its variety, strength and method under which it is grown. Those who know prefer Michigan^ 

 grown stock. Sand-grown Bulbs are better adapted for forcing. By "TOPPING" our flowers, we leave all 

 the "pep" in the bulbs, giving them a "PLUS-QUALITY" which makes our stock so suitable for Forcing. 



We are booking orders for our special 'TORCING STOCK" now, for fall delivery
