GENERAL LIST OF BULBS AND ROOTS ^" 



The '^Henderson" Collection of Ten Modern Gladiolus 



Illustrated in Colors on 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 opportunity to enrich their gardens the coming summer with this collection. 

 Our leaflet "Garden Culture of Gladiolus" sent with each collection.
