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, 114-inch and up, 
unless otherwise specified.
