SUMIVIER FLOWER IMG BULBS 



^^^^^^^ 



HENDERSON'S Choicest Named GLADIOLUS 



The following list comprises our choice in the fields after studying and comparing the merits of hundreds of varieties, consideration being ^ven 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, containing as it does the best of Childsii, Gandavensis, Groff's and European Hybrid Sections. All old "runout" 

 inferior and "too-near-alike" varieties have been eliminated. A fair sized collection of these modern Gladiolus will afford a continuous succession of delightful 

 surprises to the grower. 

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