Vaughan's Gladiolus Princeps. 



See illustration, scale one-half natural size. 



This "King of all Gladiolus ' has become popular beyond every other va- 

 riety, both in this country and throughout Europe. It has made a class 

 for itself, and you do not have the best of all until you buy it. 



The individual flowers are 5\i inches in diameter and sometimes one inch 

 larger. The petals are very wide and rounded, well reflexed. forming an 

 almost circular dower. The color is brilliant scarlet crimson with three 

 broad white blotches on the lower petals. Spikes produce 12 to 15 flowers 

 and grow 4 feet in height. It is exceptionally healthy and its flowering is 

 continuous.

Mrs. Francis King. 



New Giant Flowered Gladiolus. 



We introduced this new variety in 1906 and everybody who has seen it 

 growing or exhibited, tells us that we have not sounded its praises loudly 

 enough, and that it will surely take a place in the first class for vigor of 

 growth and brilliancy in bloom. Its color is light scarlet of a very pleas 

 Ing shade which attracts attention at once. The flowers, measuring 4 to 5 

 inches, are borne on long stems and 4 to 6 are open on the spike at one 

 time.

In color it is a soft lavender pink, very light, almost a tinted white, 

 spikes two and three feet long, very large spreading blooms, and luxuriant 

 dark green foliage. It is evidently a f.ivorite with florists already, bring- 

 ing more than any other variety in the New York cut flower market. When 

 cut it lasts in water a week or more, the blossoms retaining their vigor 

 and delicate coloring to the last.
