Gladioli!! 
Betscher’s 
Primulinus Hybrids 
W E HAVE used many species of 
Gladioli in our work but Primuli- 
nus Species has proved of greater merit 
than any other species, hence we employed 
it very liberally in evolving our best 
types. Betscher’s Primulinus types are 
of a high standard, robust tall growers, 
large flowers, attractive colors, early 
I blooming. Planted July ist they bloom 
in September when good blooms are 
scarce. The Gladiolus of the future will 
largely be of Primulinus blood because of 
its greater vitality. 
We offer:

Named Gladioli 
Each year we test out the best from 
world wide sources. Some see beauty 
and value in all. More critical ones 
prefer only the superior sorts — it is the 
superior sorts we grow and grow them 
superior. We have some very carefully 
selected seedlings selected to color — there 
are none better and many are better than 
the average fine named sorts — those who 
desire extra high grade sorts should buy 
these liberally. 
Pink — Red — White or Yellows 
$2.25 per doz. $15.00 per 100 
Pink — Red — White or Yellows — made up 
from choice named sorts 
$1.50 per doz. $10.00 per 100 
We have grown thousands of seedling 
Gladioli — many of a very high order. 
Out of these many thousands, we deemed 
only one worthy a name — Crimson Glow. 
It is a very fine one — we feel there is no 
red its equal to-day. After growing it 
two years, here is how Mr. J. M. Good 
describes it: 
CRIMSON GLOW — Glorious, brilliant, 
satiny “Crimson Glow” a color that is fetch- 
ing and pleasing to all. The wide open 
blooms are of the largest size, well placed on 
the long, graceful, showy, slender spikes 
which remain in bloom a long time, especial- 
ly in the cool of autumn. Its petals are of 
exceptional substance. As a garden type it 
is extra good. As a cut flower its keeping 
qualities are the best. A free flower. A 
gem in every way.

The Modern Gladiolus 
'T'HAT is the title of my Descriptive Catalogue and I aim 
to make the contents agree with it by adding, from time 
to time, the best new sorts of this, the grandest of the 
People’s Flowers. 
No. I haven’t gone out of business though you have not 
seen my name in the Garden Magazine lately. I’ve been 
right on deck, "busy as a bee in a tar barrel,” growing the fin- 
est lot of Gladiolus bulbs ever. 1 believe my Oak wood Mix- 
ture is the besdoffered and, among the'new named sorts, I am 
recommending FLORA, Le Marechal, Foch, Lilywhite, 
LOUISE, Prince of Wales and some of Diener’s California 
strain. My catalogue, with color plate ol LOUISE is free 
to all who ask for it, mentioning the Garden Magazine. 
Hale you seen ANDORRA?
