Henderson — Famous for Exquisite Modern Gladiolus m 



Henderson's 

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

 with each collection.

Gladiolus, New Introductions 



Below we offer an exceptional selection of this favorite flower, recently produced by the leading American and European hybridizers. 

 All of these are very high class and of great beauty and have been awarded prizes and Certificates of Merit at various Gladiolus 



and Flower Shows. 

 They are equally desirable for exhibition and garden decoration. 



Annie Laurie. "The Sweetest Gladiolus of All." Heavily ruffled 

 delicate pink, overlaid with light rose-pink, with deeper lines in the 

 throat. A charming or more beautiful variety would be hard to find. 

 Price 30c. each; $3.00 per doz. 



Hollyhock. A striking novelty of merit. Color white with just 

 enough cream to give character. Lower petals blotched violet-red. 

 The large, round, ruffled flowers are apt to be top heavy and the spikes 

 should always be securely staked. Wonderful as an exhibition cut 

 flower. Price 30c. each; $3.00 per doz. 



Los Angeles. Beautiful shrimp pink with glowing orange carmine 

 blotch in throat, tall and graceful stems. One of the best forcing varie- 

 ties for florists, most bulbs blooming with two spikes. Price 15c. each: 

 $1.50 per doz.; $12.00 per 100. 



Pfitzer's Triumph. Enormous blooms of a bright salmon-orange 

 color, with small deeper throat blotch. Almost a self color, two to four 

 blooms open at once. Striking for exhibition purposes. As an outdoor 

 flower it needs staking to withstand rain and wind. No other variety 

 of recent introduction has created the sensation in the show room 



which has been accorded this grand novelty. Price $2.50 each; $25.00 

 per doz. 



Starbrighi. Another distinctly and decidedly different Gladiolus 

 Tall straight spikes with several well placed florets open at one time. 

 Beautiful daffodil yellow blossoms with a broad and very distinct band 

 or stripe of rose through the center of every petal. Each flower is a 

 perfect star. Price 25c. each ; $2.50 per doz. ; $18.00 per 100. 



Veilchenblau. The leading Blue Gladiolus. The first large vigor- 

 ous violet blue Gladiolus. Has a darker blotch on the lower petals, 

 which adds to the beauty of the flower. Color suggests that of the 

 Iris. Price $1.50 each; $15.00 per doz. 



Yvonne. Large and lovely blotched blush. Truly sensational. 

 Very vigorous. We predict a great future for this variety. Price 25c. 

 each; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100. 



W. H. Phipps. La France Pink, overlaid with light rose-salmon. 

 Lighter towards the center and with lightly speckled ruby throat mark- 

 ings. From twelve to twenty florets open at a time. A novelty which 

 will cause you to exclaim with wonder. Price 30c. each; $3.00 per doz 



All Gladiolus bulbs are delivered transportation charges paid in the United States.
