Sensational New Everblooming Gladiolus—“Primulinus 
Hybrids” 
Commonly known as “The Maid of the Mist." 
So different from the usual form, that you would not recognize it on first sight as a Glad¬ 
iolus. It is a most lovely flower, which wins instant favor, and when we bring our visitors 
to the spot in the garden where these arc in bloom, we can hear some wonderful tributes paid 
to this novelty 
All the features, which we regret in the regular Gladiolus such as stiffness, massiveness, are 
here completely lost, and replaced by a gracefulness and airiness, which lifts it from the regular 
ranks and places it in a sphere entirely its own. Let us describe to you more fully the correct 
features of this flower. 
1. It is the easiest of all Gladiolus to grow. 
2. It is very early to bloom, requiring about 70 days from the day of planting. 
3. Its leaves are much finer and narrower. 
4. Its stalks are the thickness of a pencil, are elastic, attain a height of 4 feet and are by 
far the most graceful of all Gladiolus, as they slightly bend. 
5. The flowers are not large when compared to the regular sorts, in fact are altogether 
different in appearance. They are hooded on top, and are set fairly apart on the stalk, so that 
each shows all its boauty. 
6. The colors.—Here is its real charm. From the palest yellow to the deepest orange; 
from the palest of pink to the most intense Balmon, and from rose to crimson, this new Gladiolus 
shines forth in the most artistic of oolors. 
7. Its greatest point of value is the fact that a single bulb produces never less than three 
flower spikes, and often as many as five, and as they appear in succession, one after another, 
the flowering season is extended for fully two months, while all others are only two weeks in 
bloom. 
It is, therefore, an “Everblooming" Gladiolus, and the first one of its kind.
