GLADIOLI 
HERCULES (Midseason-Decorative): A remark¬ 
ably fine variety of an unusual bronze-orange 
color. Very tall, strong massive grower with 
long flower spikes, well proportioned. Large 
florets with 8-10 open at one time. One of the 
most promising of the newer Grandiflorus vari¬ 
eties. Each, $1.50; $13 for 10. 
HERITAGE (Midseason-Exhibition): A note¬ 
worthy new exhibition Gladiolus, of a beau¬ 
tiful warm pink with lighter throat and white 
midribs on lower petals. Individual florets are 
large with as many as 12 open at one time. 
A prizewinner at many shows and hard to beat 
at its best. Each $1.50. 
INCENSE (Midseason-Small Flowered): The first 
truly fragrant Gladiolus. Covered by U. S. 
Plant Patent. A very beautiful flower with the 
gorgeous coloring of a ''Talisman" Rose. Its 
color is best described as Begonia-rose with 
a sulphur-yellow throat which color extends 
clearly through the petals giving the buds a 
jeweled effect. The three inch blooms are set 
daintily on a wiry stem, graceful as orchids, 
with as many as sixteen buds. Height of plant 
4-5 feet. Fragrance is similar to tearose or wild 
crab apple scent which increases as the 
flower ages. It is best cut with one flower 
open and permitted to open fully indoors. 
Very scarce. See illustration. Each, $2; $10 for 
6 bulbs.

beautiful variety. Each, $1.50.

spikes with eight well placed florets open at 
one time. Each, $1.50; $13 for 10.

orange Gladiolus of fine substance. A new and 
distinctive shade and one of the best orange 
varieties. $1.40 for 10; $11.50 per 100.
