HENDERSON'S MODERN GLADIOLUS 
The modern Gladiolus are triumphs of the hybridizer’s art, new types and a legion 
of new varieties having been evolved that far surpass the favorites so prized a few years 
ago, in size and form of flower and varied coloring, comprising all imaginable colors, 
shades and variegations, from the most gorgeous and dazzling to the softest and most 
delicate tints. They deserve to be grown in every garden. For cutting they are in¬ 
valuable, the flowers lasting in water a week. They are of easy culture, grow in any 
garden soil, never fail to flower the same season, and by successive plantings every two 
or three weeks, from April to June, can be had in flower from July until checked by frost.
