SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS 
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 the 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 Cinnamon 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 opposite page.) 
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, al- 
though 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 purplish 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 through the center. 
Extra large bulbs, 50c each; $5.00 doz.; transportation paid. 
MADEIRA VINE 
The old favorite, ‘‘Climbing Mignonette,’” so much prized for porches and arbors on ac- 
count 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. 
Price, 15c each; $1.50 doz.; $12.00 Der 100; transportation paid.

Summer Flowering Bulbs 
Many gardeners who have enjoyed the gay pageant 
of Spring Bulbous Flowers, will welcome the group

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. 
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 May 1st, and in the autumn the bulbs 
should be lifted after the tops have been killed by 
frost. The bulbs may be saved from year to year.
