(For description, see below.) 
GLADIOLI—Continued. 
PINK AUGUSTA. Deep pink, same form as Augusta. 
10 cents each; 75 cents per doz.; $5.00 per 100. 
PRESIDENT TAFT. (Stewart.) An exquisite va¬ 
riety 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 wherever 
exhibited. The spikes and flowers are of largest size. 
25 cents each; $2.50 per dozen. 
PRIMULINUS HYBRIDS. (See illustration.) These 
hybrids, produced by crossing the species Primu¬ 
linus (a native of the jungles of Africa) with the 
Gandavensis type, are extremely dainty and graceful 
in form. They are among the earliest of the Gladioli 
to blossom, flowering ten days to two weeks before 
most all other Gladioli. The upper petal droops, 
forming a “hood.” The colors range from primrose 
yellow to a beautiful rose. 10 cents each; 75 cents 
per dozen; $5.00 per 100, $35.00 per M. 
ROSE GEM. (Alexander.) Another early flowering 
variety that is sure to give satisfaction. The total 
effect is rose-pink, but comparison with the color 
chart gives a La France pink, heavily mottled 
scarlet-red. A very fascinating variety. 35 cents 
each; $3.50 per doz. 
ROUGE TORCH. Large, creamy-white flowers, 
with a rouge torch-like tongue on the lower petals, 
making a very striking contrast. 15 cents each; 
$1.00 per dozen; $8.00 per 100. 
SCARSDALE. (Cowee.) A grand Gladiolus with 
large lavender-colored flowers, shaded beautiful 
dark rose; extra large spikes growing very erect. 
15 cents each; $1.50 per dozen, $10.00 per 100.
