HENDERSON'S 



UP-TO-DATE 

 VARIETIES OF 



NAMED GLADIOLUS 



The list of named Gladiolus offered oh this and the succeeding pages comprises our choice in 

 the fields after studying and comparing the merits of hundreds of varieties, consideration 

 being given to healthy growth, size, form, coloring and substance of flowers, properly 

 spaced and faced on strong, straight, upright spikes, etc. We therefore believe that this selec- 

 tion of up-to-date named Gladiolus is insurpassable, containing as it does the best of Childsii, 

 Gandavensis, Groff's, Lemoines' and Hybrid Sections. All old "runout" inferior and "too- 

 near-alike" varieties have been eliminated. A fair sized collection of these modern Gladiolus 

 will afford a continuous succession of delightful surprises to the grower. 



NOTE. — The Section or Type to which the varieties being is indicated by the letters (C) for 

 Childsii, (G) for Gandavensis, (Gf.) for Groff's, (H) for Hybrid, (L) for Lemoine's, (K) for EJun- 

 deri.

 handsomer by far than the colored sheet. A picture no artist could paint." .

 their great beauty." 



Mrs. J. A. KEPNER,

 of your seeds. My garden last year, though small, exceeded my expectations greatly, encouraging

 the admiration and envy of my neighbors."
