Henderson's Up-to-Date Named Varieties 



The list of named Gladiolus offered on this and the succeeding pages 

 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 of 

 up-to-date named Gladiolus is unsurpassable.
