"MINUET" IS OUTSTANDING 
FOR CUTFLOWERS 
FORCING GLADIOLUS 
It has been fully determined that planting 
Gladiolus bulbs in December or early Janu¬ 
ary in the greenhouse does not allow of 
proper development into a finished blooming 
spike, the many dark days following during 
course of production causing bulbs to pro¬ 
duce excessive foliage and small flower 
spikes. On the contrary, February planting 
with a better average of sunshine invariably 
produces finished quality. Maintaining a 
"Chrysanthemum temperature" with plenty 
of air at all times seems to be desirable for 
successful Gladiolus culture under glass. 
Forcing invariably causes bulbs to come 
blind; this is proven by the fact that bulbs 
of the same class and of even smaller size 
than generally planted for forcing will bloom 
100 per cent in the open ground. Therefore, 
it is conclusive that bulbs of IV 2 " diameter 
and upward will prove successful under 
reasonably normal culture. 
Our annual output of Gladiolus is over 15 
million bulbs, and we are in a position to 
supply in quantity both so-called first size, 
IV 2 " and up, and 1 Vi" and up. 1 V 2 " and up 
is recommended for forcing, and either 1 V 2 " 
or 114" for open ground culture. We sug¬ 
gest placing order early and we will forward 
bulbs any time desired by customers.—A.B.C.
