Henderson's 



"Garden Joy" Collection of Ten S, 



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 glorify their gardens the coming summer with this collection. CJur leaflet "Garden Culture of Gladiolus" sent 

 with each collection.

Gladiolus Primulinus Hybrids 



This beautiful type is a development of recent origin, being the(result of crossing 

 the wild species of Gladiolus Primulinus discovered in South Africa, with many of 

 the various allied species and selected garden varieties. 



The predominating characteristics of these Hybrids are: extreme gracefulness 

 and profuseness of bloom, together with a most enchanting array of rich and 

 artistic colors. 



Our select list contains the cream of latest offerings in this class.
