GLADIOLUS 
HENDERSON’S ‘‘UP-TO-DATE’’ NAMED VARIETIES 
This list of named Gladiolus 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 is unsurpassable. First size number 
one bulbs. 
Every precaution is taken to supply clean stock; all of our bulbs are thoroughly cleaned, fumigated, and dipped to destroy 
thrip and other insects.
