Limmer ^7 Lowering 



Jjuik 



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 Zeph- 

 ranthes, or Fairy Lily, to the bizarre brilliance of the Tigridia, or 

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

 ing period of this group ranges from June to September. 



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



air 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 



atitude. the bulbs should be lifted in the autumn after the tops have 



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



OBTAINABLE FROM FEBRUARY 1 TO MAY 15

Tuberous-Rooted BEGONIAS 



Nothing can exceed the brilliance and richness of these wonderful 

 free-flowering tender bulbs from the time the first blossoms appear until 

 all growth is stopped by frost. They are excellent pot plants and also 

 present an artistic picture in the garden where they should have a semi- 

 shaded position and a soil rich in humus. Tuberous-Rooted Begonias 

 do especially well where summers are not excessively hot or the nights 

 at least bring refreshing coolness. Bulbs are easily stored over winter.
