decorative value. The commercial florists have come to recognize this wonderful new type of 
Gladiolus. The pure self-tones of the flowers suggest refinement. They are splendid growers and

Primulinus Hybrids Mixture. Wh en the original Primulinus 
_i-—- 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 original 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, retaining 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. 45 cts. 
per doz., $3.50 per 100, $32.50 per 1,000.
