EARLY ORDERS FOR GLADIOLUS BULBS 
WILL, WE BELIEVE. PROVE MUTUALLY 
ADVANTAGEOUS 
Temperature for Forcing Gladiolus 
The best temperature is carna¬ 
tion house temperature (50 to 52 
degrees Fahrenheit). Cooler tem¬ 
peratures to start with are satis¬ 
factory, as the gladiolus starts 
slowly and will not take kindly 
to any increase in heat before 
the bud shows, except the nat¬ 
ural increase in heat which the 
sun gives during bright winter 
days and in spring.
