Make Money by Planting Michell’s Superb Gladioli Bulbs 
Home Grown. Ready in December except Varieties Marked * Which are Ready Now 
T HE demand for these as a late Winter and 
early Spring Flower, under glass, is con¬ 
stantly on the increase. There is nothing 
in culture to-day that is succeeded with so 
easily. They require little attention and are 
practically immune from attack of insects or 
plant diseases. 
A temperature of about 60 degrees in the 
day and 50 degrees at night develops the bulbs 
best. It pays to support the flowers as they 
come in bloom.
