GLADIOLUS PRIMULINUS HYBRIDS 



A fevr 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. It consequence it was taken in hand by several Gla- 

 diolus hybridizers who crossed it with various allied species and 

 choice garden varieties; although the strong, wild blood of Primu- 

 linus 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 grace- 

 ful and beautiful for vases. All of which we offer in mixtures. 

 Price, 8c. each, 8oc. per doz., S6.00 per ioo.
