Six Bulbs of a Variety Sold at the Dozen Rate, 25 at the Hundred Rate. Our pamphlet "GARDEN CULTURE OF GLADIOLUS" 



free to customers on request. 



SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS Hendersons selected 



The bulbs offered on this page include some of our showiest garden 

 flowers. They are of easiest culture; planted in spring in good garden 

 soil, they flower with great certainty during the summer and fall. 

 They are also very useful to fill up vacant spots in a hardy border 

 of perennials, adding to it a dash of color. After the tops have been 

 killed off by the frost, all of the bulbs (with the exception of_Cinna- 

 mon Vine) should be taken up and stored in the cellar over winter, as 

 they are not hardy. 



CALADIUM ESCULENTUM 



"Elephant's Ear." Grand tropical-looking plant. A favorite for specimens on 

 the lawn, or for bordering large sub-tropical groups. They produce enormous 

 leaves, frequently 4 feet long by 3 feet wide; height, 4 to 5 feet. Plant after the 

 ground has warmed up, and take up before frost. (See illustration.) 



Extra Size. Price, 35c each; $3.50 doz. 



Transportation paid. 



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, and cover trellises 

 or arbors quite early in the season. 

 Price, extra large, 2-year-old roots, 20c each; $2.00 doz.; transportation paid. 



CRINUM Kirkii 



Produces flowers of the greatest beauty. Usually two flower stalks of dark pur- 

 plish color are sent up at the same time, each bearing a large umbel of enormous 

 lily-like flowers of white, with a reddish purple stripe tlirough the center. 

 Extra large bulbs 50c each; $5.00 doz.; transportation paid. 



MADEIRA VINE

 and long, hanging stems of feathery, fragrant, white flowers. The tubers we offer 

 are selected large size.
