Henderson's "Pride of the Garden" 



Collection of Twelve Modern Gladiolus 



(Shown in Colors on the Opposite Page and Described Below.) 



The Grandest Collection of moderate priced Gladiolus that can be gotten together. All are of the modern large flowering type, strong, healthy growing 

 and free blooming. Every variety comprising the set is a gem. The colored page opposite conveys an idea ot the wide range of exquisite coloring, but it 

 does not begin to do the flowers justice; no brush can. They must be seen to be appreciated, and we hope a large number of our patrons will avail them- 

 selves of this opportunity to glorify their gardens the coming summer with this unrivalled collection.

GLADIOLUS PRIMULINUS HYBRIDS 



A few years ago the wild "Primulinus" Gladiolus was discovered near Victoria 

 Falls, South Africa. As we know the modern garden varieties of to-day it was 

 inferior — but what was important it was rugged, floriferous and bore the purest 

 yellow flowers known among Gladiolus. In consequence it was taken in hand by 

 several Gladiolus hybridizers in Europe who crossed it with various allied species 

 and choice garden varieties; although the strong, wild blood of Primulinus pre- 

 dominates these hybrids, yet the opposite parents have had so much influence 

 that we describe the hybrids as follows: flowers of medium size, borne profusely; 

 colors, bright and varied with an undertone of yellow— as pure yellow, chamois, 

 orange, buff, copper, yellow shot with orange-red, buff with orange-rose, orange- 

 red, some with soft orange or golden throats, etc.; growth vigorous, from 3 to 5 

 feet high; spikes long, graceful and well furnished ; most graceful and beautiful for 

 vases. All of which we offer in mixture. Price, 6c. each, 60c. per doz., $4.00 

 per 100, $35.00 per 1000.
