Summer c7 Lowering 



Jjutbs 



Many gardeners who have enjoyed the gay pageant oi 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 



C)N NAMON 



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. 



Obtainable from February 1st to May 15th. 



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, 25c each; $2.50 doz. 



CHLIDANTHUS FRAGRANS (The Fragrant Lily) 



Of South American origin; it is a valuable addition to our summer 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. 



Price. 25c each; $2.50 doz.; $18.00 per 100. 



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.
