EVERYTHING FOR THE GAMJEH ° Flower BusSEss 
HENDERSON’S 
VAR LET lES^OF NAMED GLADIOLUS 
The list of named Gladiolus offered on this and the succeeding pages comprises our choice in the fields 
after studying and comparing the merits of hundreds of varieties, consideration being given to healthy 
growth, size, form, coloring and substance of flowers, properly spaced and faced on strong, straight, upright 
spikes, etc. We therefore believe that this selection of up-to-date named Gladiolus is unsurpassable, 
containing as it does the best of Childsii, Gandavcnsis, Groff’s, Lemoines’ and Hybrid Sections. All old 
“runout” inferior and “too-near-alike” varieties have been eliminated. A fair sized collection of these 
modern Gladiolus will afford a continuous succession of delightful surprises to the grower. 
NOTE. — The Section or Type to which the varieties belong is indicated by the letters (C) for Childsii, 
(G) for Gandavcnsis, (Gf.) for Groff’s, (II) for Hybrid, (L) for Lemoinc’s, (K) for Kunderi.
