HENDERSON'S NEW 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.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
