In all the gorgeous array of colors to 
be found in the lists of Gladioli, the 
variety Mrs. Francis King, that wonder¬ 
ful flame pink, is unsurpassed. For 
brilliancy of coloring and fine form it has 
no rivals in decorative effect. 
Equally as beautiful and of the same 
graceful form, with a softer coral col¬ 
oring, is Halley, a magnificent, large- 
flowered variety and especially popular 
because of its early and extended season 
of bloom. 
The Primulinus Hybrids in all their 
daintiness of form and coloring give an 
entirely new note to gladiolus produc¬ 
tions. The attractive shape of the 
blooms and the wide range of color, 
from the lightest yellow, through bronze 
and orange, to deepest rose, have made 
these hybrids very desirable. 
The gorgeous coloring of Mrs. Frank 
Pendleton finds a pleasing foil in the 
silvery whiteness of Glory of Holland 
or Queen of Whites. 
A porch vase of Jean Dieulafoy or 
Maize arranged with the carmine of 
Jesse Palmer or the brilliant crimson of 
Lillian Morrisey breathes a very hearty 
welcome. 
If it is necessary to be mindful of 
expense, it is still possible to have a 
wealth of bloom for all purposes, for 
there are mixtures dark and mixtures 
light and mixtures harlequin, and there 
are such beautiful colorings among the 
cheaper sorts. But if money is no bar, 
no collection or garden will be quite 
complete without the glorious blue of 
Marie de Ruyter or Violet Perfection, 
the yellow of Schawben or Glory of
