GLADIOLUS for Qreenhouse Forcing 
Delivery late December or early January. 
Favorable weather up-to-date would indicate a fine crop of Gladiolus bulbs this season. We have contracted for our supply with 
reliable growers who do not sell cut flowers and are, therefore, able to supply high crown bulbs.
