Primulinus Hybrids Mixture. When the original Primulinus 
- - - was first grown in this country, 
many Gladiolus-growers were impressed with the graceful habit of the 
plant and flowers. They were small and somewhat hooded. The origi¬ 
nal species, as they were first introduced from South Africa, created 
interest among these growers mainly for their habit and the beautiful 
colorings of the flowers. They proceeded to cross them with the finest 
of the large-flowering Gladiolus and the resultant crosses brought forth 
a really beautiful acquisition. The flowers were larger, more open, re¬ 
taining their graceful placement on the spikes and also their beautiful 
range of artistic colors. Our hybrids range in color from pale sulphur- 
yellow-apricot to the deepest chrome-yellow and excellent shades of pink, 
orange, and scarlet. We are pleased to offer this splendid mixture and 
suggest that our patrons try some, as for artistic decorations these 
flowers borne on long slender spikes are wonderful. 50 cts. per doz., 
$4 per 100, $38 per 1,000.

FREE FROM THRIP 
By careful and thorough sterilization of our planting-stock, our Gladi¬ 
olus Bulbs have been free of thrip. Our bulbs are likewise treated 
during the winter in storage. 
We wish to advise, however, that as thrip lives in the soil through the 
winter, as well as on the bulbs in storage, it is advisable to plant your 
bulbs on soil where Gladiolus were not grown the previous year.
