SUnriER FLOWERING BULBS. 



Gladiolus. 



The cultivation of the Gladiolus is very simple, as they 

 will thrive in any good garden soil, but will amply re- 

 pay one for careful cultivation. A succession of bloom 

 maybe had from July to September by planting at in- 

 tervals from April to June. 



OUR GLADIOLUS are from one of the largest grow- 

 ers in the country, and one who has the finest assort- 

 ment to be had either in this country or Europe ; there- 

 fore we claim ours to be unexcelled as to quality.

Tuberous= Rooted Begonias. 



The Tuberous -Rooted Begonias are among the hand- 

 somest of our summer-flowering bulbs. They are not 

 grown to the extent they should be, as they require no 

 more care than Geraniums, have as fine a range of color, 

 and will bloom continuously throughout the summer, 

 even when Geraniums droop through lack of moisture 

 and fail to unfold their flowers. Planted either in the 

 rockery or flower border, they rival the Geraniums with 

 their rich and varied colors, ranging from the most deli- 



cate shade of yellow and salmon to the most striking 

 crimson and scarlet. Those who have made a specialty 

 of these charming plants for several years and have tried 

 them thoroughly, have no hesitation in saying they are 

 destined to play a very important part in the bedding of 

 the near future. They bloom profusely when planted 

 out on rock-work or in the open ground, and have been 

 a decided attraction.
