GLADIOLI—Continued. 
PEACE. (Groff.) Wonderful white Gladiolus. 
Gigantic flowers are borne on a magnificent tall 
spike; the entire plant shows a vigorous, healthy 
constitution. The wide open flowers are of a 
glistening white, with an attractive narrow stripe 
of purplish carmine through the center of each 
lower petal. This extra throat marking is not a 
detriment to its beauty but adds to its attractive¬ 
ness. The noblest white Gladiolus. 15 cents 
each; $1.50 per dozen. 
PINK AUGUSTA. Deep pink, same form as Augus¬ 
ta. 10 cents each; $1.00 per dozen. 
PRESIDENT TAFT. (Stewart.) An exquisite 
variety of delicate salmon-pink, shaded darker 
at edge with deep crimson blotch in throat and 
an attractive white line through each petal. A 
grand variety which evokes words of praise wher¬ 
ever exhibited. The spikes and flowers are of 
largest size. 25 cents each; $2.50 per dozen. 
PRINCEPS. (Dr. Van Fleet.) The Amaryllis- 
flowered Gladiolus. Color, rich crimson with in¬ 
tense shadings in the throat and broad white blotches 
across the lower petals. 10 cents each; $1.00 per 
dozen. 
PRIMULINUS HYBRIDS. These hybrids, pro¬ 
duced by crossing the species Prymulinus with 
the Candavensis type, are extremely dainty and 
graceful in form. The upper petal droops, form¬ 
ing a “hood.” The colors range from primrose 
yellow to a beautiful rose. 15 cents each; $1.50 
per dozen. 
ROUGE TORCH. Large, creamy-white flowers, 
with a rouge torch-like tongue on the lower petals, 
making a very striking contrast. 20 cents each; 
$2.00 per dozen. 
SCARSDALE. (Cowee.) A grand Galdioius with 
large lavender-colored flowers, shaded beautiful 
dark rose; extra large spikes growing very erect. 
15 cents each; $1.50 per dozen. 
SCHWABEN (Pfitzer.) Beautiful New Yellow 
GLADIOLUS. Finest of German importations. 
This striking new Gladiolus is a pure canary-yellow, 
shading to soft sulphur-yellow when opening: the 
deep golden-yellow center is blotched with brilliant 
brownish-carmine. Foliage is large and vigorous, 
of a beautiful dark green, which, combined with the 
brilliant sulphur-colored flowers makes it very effec¬ 
tive for groups and beds. The brownish-carmine 
blotch being very deeply set in the throat does not 
reduce the entire effect, and hardly makes any 
appearance unless flower is examined. 25 cents 
each; $2.50 per dozen. 
STERLING, MINNESOTA, or LAFAYETTE. 
(Groff.) A beautiful pale yellow with rich cherry 
throat. One of our finest of this season’s seedlings 
and nearest in color to the New Ruffled Gladiolus, 
“Kunderdi Glory.” A perfect beauty. 10 cents 
each; $1.00 per dozen; $8.00 per 100. 
SULPHUR QUEEN, A remarkably clear sulphur- 
yellow. 10 cents each; $1.00 per dozen. 
THE KING. (Groff.) A beautiful, rich, deep purple 
with an ideal chrome yellow throat, the lower petals 
veined white. The flowers are from 4 to 6 inches 
in diameter, borne on long spikes. Very large and 
showy. 10 cents each; $1.00 per dozen. 
WAR. (Groff.) A Giant Red Gladiolus. Larg¬ 
est of all Gladioli, showing from 4 to 6 open flowers 
at one time. Deep blood red, shading to crimson. 
25 cents each; $2.50 per dozen. 
WM. FALCONER. A long spike and flowers of 
large size. Beautiful, clear light pink. 15 cents 
each; $1.50 pr doz. 
WOODROW. A very exquisite and attractive va¬ 
riety. Scarlet flower with deep yellow throat. 
5 cents each; 50 cents per dozen.
