SUIVIIVIER FLOWERIMG BULBS 
HENDERSON'S Choicest Named GLADIOLUS 
The following list 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-t<)*<latc named Gladiolus is unsurpassable, containing as it does the best of Childsii, Gandavensis, Groff’s and European 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 various varieties belong is indicated by the letters (C) for Childsii, (G) for Gandavensis, (Gf) for Groff’s, (H) for Hybrid.
