SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS 



Summer-flowering bulbs are of easiest culture, giving most beautiful bloom. The bulbs and roots offered below are all of blooming 

 size, and are of high-class stock which will always give satisfaction. 



Dahlias, Cannas, Caladiums, Gladioli and Begonias are tender sorts and will not live out over winter, but should be taken up in the 

 fall and kept in the cellar until the following spring. 



TUBEROUS BEGONIAS 



The Tuberous-rooted Begonias are among the handsomest of our 

 summer-flowering bulbs. They bloom continuously throughout the 

 summer. Planted either in the rockery or flower-border, they rival 

 the rose with their rich and varied colors. Give a location shaded 

 from midday sun.
