Michell’s Superb Gladiolus 
Our Gladiolus bulbs are carefully cured and graded, the first-size bulbs being properly prepared for forcing. Bulbs are produced under 
the best conditions on our contract farms in Michigan, and also eastern points, and have been raised from stock which has not been used 
for cut-flower purposes. This insures quality bulbs that can be depended on for good results under proper care and culture. If our customers 
desire any varieties or other sizes of Gladiolus not in our list, please write us for prices, etc., as we are in a position to take care of your needs. 
PLEASE NOTE; All Gladiolus bulbs offered are first size, inch and up, unless otherwise specified

Gladiolus, W. H. Phipps 
Beloit, Wise. 
Wish to say that we were 
more than pleased with the 
Gladiolus bulbs you sent us, 
and also that we were among 
the very few that had Glads 
during the hot weather.
