Henderson's "WELCOME" Collection 



of Ten 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 

 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 who crossed it with var- 

 ious allied speciesand 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.
