TEMPER.ATURE FOR FORCING GLADIOLUS 
The best temperature is carnation house temperature 
(50 to 52 degrees Fahrenheit). Cooler temperatures to 
start with are satisfactoix*. as the gladiolus starts 
slowly and will not take kindly to any increase in heat 
before the bud shows, except the natural increase in 
heat which the sun gives during bright winter days and 
in spring.
