Henderson's "ARTISTIC" Collection 

 of Eight Modern Gladiolus 



Shown in Colors aboui half natural size 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 w-as discovered near 

 Victoria Falls, South Africa. As we know the modern garden varieties of 

 today it was inferior — but w-hat was important it was rugged, floriferoua 

 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 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, 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.
