GLADIOLUS PRIMULINUS IIYRRIDS 
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, floriferous and bore the purest 
yellow flowers known among Gladiolus. In consequence it was taken in hand by 
several Gladiolus hybridizers in Europe who crossed it with various allied species 
and choice garden varieties; although the strong, wild blood of Primulinus pre¬ 
dominates 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-red, buff with orange-rose, orange- 
red, some with soft orange or golden throats, etc.; growth vigorous, from 3 to 5 
feet high; spikes long, graceful and well furnished; most graceful and beautiful for 
vases. All of which we offer in mixture. Price, 6c. each, 60c. per doz., $4.00 
per 100, $35.00 per 1000.
