HENDERSON’S SPECIAL SET OF 12 
‘Really Grand Gladiolus.”’ 
Magnificent new varieties of Gladiolus are produced by the art of hybridizing, 
but unfortunately the slowness of working up a stock of any special sort prevents 
them from being offered ata low price for several years. A stroll through our 
many acres of varieties, containing these new sorts, revealed some of which we 
could supply a few hundred bulbs, the varieties being of such rare beauty that we 
concluded to select a set that we offer at the moderate prices quoted below. 
Abricote. Avery charming and novel color, soft, satiny, coppery pink, as lus- 
trous in the sunlight as if burnished. Flowers of great size, with large round 
petals. A robust grower. 50 cts. each, $5.00 per doz.

flowers of quite a peculiar and remarkable color; the ground of the upper petals 
is of a very jpale creamy rose, striped and penciled cherry-red, one (or more fre- 
quently two) of the lower petals is yellow with a rose sheen and finally rayed or 
striped purplish red.

rose, striped orange, carmine and lilac, with beautiful blotch of cherry-rose 
streaked with lilac.
