GLADIOLUS 



HENDERSON'S "UP-TO-DATE" NAMED VARIETIES 



This list of named Gladiolus comprises our choice in the fields after studying and comparing the merits of hundreds of varieties, 

 consideration being given to healthy growth, size, form, coloring and substance of flowers, properly spaced and faced on strong, straight, 

 upright spikes, etc. We therefore believe that this selection is unsurpassable. First size number one bulbs. 



Every precaution is taken to supply clean stock; all of our bulbs are thoroughly cleaned, fumigated, and dipped to destroy thrip 

 and other insects.
