Henderson's "COLUMBIA" Collection 

 of Nine Modern Gladiolus 



Shown in Colors on the Opposite Page and Described Below 



This is a Grand Collection of moderate priced Gladiolus. 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 of 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 themselves of this opportunity to 

 glorify their gardens the coming summer with this 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 

 today it was infeiior — 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 Galdiolus hybridizers who crossed it 

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

 wild blood of PrimuUnus predominates 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 yeUow, 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.
