* Denotes best varieties for forcing. 
TEMPERATURE FOR FORCING GLADIOLUS 
The best temperature is Carnation house temperature (50° to 52° F.). 
Cooler temperatures to start with are satisfactory, 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. 
IMPORTANT TO THE FORCER 
Please bear in mind the fact that Gladiolus Bulbs which we supply 
for forcing under glass have been especially cultured and are scien¬ 
tifically treated for that purpose. Under reasonably normal condi¬ 
tions growers should obtain worthwhile results from such stock.
