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 and we will procure them if available. 
PLEASE NOTE: All Gladiolus bulbs offered are first size, 11. 
inch and up, unless otherwise specified. Varieties marked with 
asterisk recommended for forcing.
