This is n Grand Collection of moderate priced Gladiolus. All are of the modern large-flowering type, strong, healthy growing and free blooming. Every 
variety comprising the set is a gem. The colored page opposite conveys an idea of the wide range of exquisite coloring, but it does not begin to do the flowers 
justice; no brush can. They must be seen to be appreciated, and we hope a large number of our patrons will avail themselves of this opportunity to glorify 
their gardens the coming summer with this collection.

Gladiolus Primulinus Hybrids 
A few years ago the wild “Primulinus” Gladiolus was discovered near 
Victoria Falls, South Africa. As we know the modern garden varieties of 
to-day it was inferior—but what was important it was rugged, fioriferous 
and bore the purest yellow flowers known among Gladiolus. In consequence 
it was taken in hand by several Gladiolus hybridizers who crossed it with var¬ 
ious allied species and choice garden varieties; although the strong, wild blood 
of Primulinus predominates these hybrids, yet the opposite parents have had 
so much influence that we describe the hybrids as follows: Flowers of 
medium size, borne profusely; colors, bright and varied with an undertone 
of yellow—as pure yellow, chamois, orange, buff, copper, yellow shot with 
orange, buff with orange-rose, orange-red, some with soft orange or golden 
throats, etc.; growdh vigorous, from 3 to 5 feet high; spikes long, graceful 
and well furnished; most graceful and beautiful for vases.
