Henderson's Gladiolus 



Up-to-date Named Varieties 



Some of these are illustrated in Colors on page 126 



The list of named Gladiolus offered on this and the succeeding pages comprises our choice in the fields after studying and com- 

 paring 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 of up-to-date named 

 Gladiolus is unsurpassable. All Gladiolus Bulbs are Delivered Transportation Paid. 



Our Prices for Gladiolus Bulbs Are Much Lower for 1933 Because of Lower Production Costs.
