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 
m 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 and we will procure them if available. 
\ 








PLEASE NOTE: All Gladiolus bulbs offered are first size, 114-inch 
and up, unless otherwise specified. Varieties marked with asterisk 
recommended for forcing.
