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 conse- 

 quence it was taken in hand by several Gladiolus hybridizers who crossed it 

 with various allied species and choice garden varieties; although the strong, 

 wild blood of Primulinus predominates these hj^brids, 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, 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.
