Summer ^7 Lowering 



Jjutbs 



Many gardeners who have enjoyed the gay pageant of Spring 

 Bulbous Flowers, will welcome the group offered here. It is a fasci- 

 nating ensemble, ranging from the extreme daintiness of the 

 Zephranthes, or Fairy Lily, to the bizarre brilliance of the Tigridia. 

 or Shell Flower, and the pure gold of the Calla Elliotiana. The 

 flowering period of this group ranges from June to September. 



CALLA (Elliotiana) 



The yellow Calla; large, rich, deep golden flowers often 4 to 5 

 inches across at the mouth; habit of growth and foliage like the 

 old favorite white Calla excepting the leaves of Elliotiana are 

 spotted with white. 



Dry bulbs. Price, 50c each; $5.00 doz.; $37.50 per 100. 



CINNAMON VINE 



A beautiful, hardy climber for anything on which the vines can 

 twine; it grows from 15 to 30 feet high, and when established the 

 vines attain a much greater length. The leaves are green, thick and 

 glossy, always clean, healthy and free from insects. The white 

 flowers, while insignificant, emit a delightful cinnamon-like perfume. 

 The roots are quite hardy and, although the stems die down in 

 winter, the vines shoot up with great rapidity in the spring. 



Price, extra large, 2-year-old roots, 30c each; $3.00 doz. 



CHLIDANTHUS FRAGRANS (The Fragrant Lily) 



Of South American origin: it is a valuable addition to our sum- 

 mer flowering bulbous plants. The plant attains a height of about 

 1 foot, and the delightfully sweet scented golden yellow miniature 

 Lilies are held well above the foliage. Also adapted for pot culture.

MADEIRA VINE 



The old favorite, "Climbing Mignonette," so much prized for 

 porches and arbors on account of its rapid growth and freedom from 

 insects. Thick, glossy leaves, and long, hanging stems of feathery, 

 fragrant white flowers. The tubers we offer are selected large size.

 ing plant, spreading 2 to 3 feet, throw- 

 ing spikes 4 to 5 feet in height, each

 shaped flowers, splendid for groups. If 

 planted in the center of beds of scarlet 

 Gladiolus, the effect is magnificent.

Summer Flowering Bulbs thrive in a medium rich soil, where a 

 fair amount of moisture can be provided during the flowering period. 

 They also enjoy direct sunshine. In the latitude of New York, they 

 should be planted about April 15th. As these are not hardy in this 

 latitude, the bulbs should be lifted in the autumn after the tops have 

 been killed by frost. The bulbs may be saved from year to year.
