HENDERSON'S "UP-TO-DATE" VARIETIES OF NAMED GLADIOLUS. 



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 there- 

 fore believe that this selection is unsurpassable, containing as it does the best of Childsii, Gandavensis, Groff's, Lemoine's and Hybrid Sections. 



NOTE. — The Section or Type to which the varieties belong is indicated by the letters (C) for Childsii, (G) for Gandavensis, (Gf) for Groff's, (H) for Hybrid, 

 (L) for Lemoine's, (K) Kunderd's, (P) Primulinus.
