BULBS 



for Spring Plianting. 



This class includes some of our showiest garden flow- 

 ers. They are of the easiest culture; planted in spring in 

 good garden soil they flower with great certainty during 

 -ummer and fall. The hardy sorts may remain in the 

 ground over winter, but the tender sorts are to be taken 

 up after the foliage has ripened in the fall, and the bulbs 

 stored away in a dry, cool place until planting time the 

 next spring. 



AJVIORPHOPHRkkUS. 



A. Rlvieri. Is a showy plant, with enormous palm-like 

 leave.-. 3 to 4 feet in diameter, spreading in the shape of 

 an umbrella; the green stem is marbled brown and white; 

 a desirable plant for specimens or groups on a lawn. The 

 large, deep red flowers are produced before the leaves 

 appear. It is chiefly grown, however, for the luxuriant 

 tropical effect of the foliage. Plant out in May. Price, 

 75c. each, $7.50 per doz. 



BESSERA EIiEGfl^S. 



Exquisite and free-blooming. The flowers are borne 

 in graceful umbels of 12 to 20. on stems 1 to 2 feet high, 

 and open in succession during fully two months of summer 

 and autumn. A bulb frequently throws up from 6 to 10 

 spikes in succession. Color, bright vermilion marked 

 with rosy-white. For an effective display, at least 12 

 to 25 or more bulbs should be grown in groups in a sunny 

 bed, planted about 6 inches apart. Price, 5c. each, 50c. 

 per doz., $3.50 per 100.

PHILIPPINE CINNAMON VINE. 



A most beautiful and satisfactory hardy climber for covering trellis, 

 piazzas, screens or anything on which the vines can twine; it grows from 

 15 to 30 feet high, and when the roots become large and 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 are borne in clusters and, while insignificant, they emit a 

 most delightful cinnamon-like perfume. The roots are thoroughly 

 hardy, remain in the ground for years, increasing in size and vigor, 

 but the vine dies down every w inter, shooting up with great rapid- 

 ity in the spring. Price, extra large 2-year-old roots, 15c. each, 

 SI. 50 per doz.; strong 1-year-old roots, 8c. each. 80c. per doz., $6.00 

 per 100.
