Summer= Flowering Bulbs and Tubers. 



AMARYLLIS. 



The following species of Amaryllis are given prominent places in 

 all collections of plants because of their remarkably handsome 

 flowers, which last for so long a time. They grow best in pots of 

 well drained, rich, sandy loam, and need but little water until they 

 show flower buds. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. Add 4 cts. per 

 bulb for postage, when to be sent by mail. 



Formosissima. (Jacobsean Lily.) Scarlet; distinct in shape. 



15 cts. each, $1.50 per dozen. 

 Belladona major. Rosy violet and white, fragrant. 15 cts. 



each, $1.50 per dozen. 

 Longiflora alba. Large, white and fragrant. 

 Longiflora rosea. Like the above, but rosy white. 15 cts. 



each, Si. 50 per dozen. 



MONTBRETIA CROCOSHIFLORA. 



One of the most beautiful summer and autumn-blooming bulbs. 

 Well established clumps, which begin flowering in July, are a mag- 

 nificent sight. The glowing orange and red flowers are borne in 

 great profusion on tall spikes, which continue in bloom until 

 checked by frost. 25 cts. per doz. 



GLAOIOLI. 



These fine summer-blooming bulbs produce flowers of every shade 

 of color, and some of them are marvels of beauty. They are of the 

 easiest culture, and their brilliant spikes appear the first year. As 

 soon as the ground is sufficiently warm and dry, make plantings at 

 intervals of two weeks during the spring months, thus providing a 

 succession of bloom from midsummer until frost. In the fall the 

 bulbs can be taken up and stored over winter in any dry place, and 

 will be ready for planting next season. No bulbs give finer results 

 in comparison with the moderate amount of care and expense 

 required than Gladioli, and in the past few years the flowers have 

 been greatly improved by hybridization. Plant a hundred or two 

 bulbs, and you will have a rich and beautiful display. Sent, post- 

 paid, at prices given for single bulbs. Each Perdoz I00

 pure waxy white color, and grow on tall stems.

well-cured bulbs. 5 cts. each, 30 cts. per doz., $2 per 100. 



BULBS FOR 



. AUTUMN PLANTING. 



It is hardly possible to exaggerate the pleasure to be derived by 

 the lover of flowers from the culture of bulbs. Their variety is so 

 great, and the characteristics of foliage and blooms are so diverse, 

 that there is continual delight in watching the growth and de- 

 velopment of the different specimens of this large and interesting 

 branch of the floral kingdom. True, to obtain them requires fore- 

 thought, care, and about the same degree of watchfulness as is 

 necessary to success in any branch of the gardener's art. It is not 

 unusual to hear expressions of a desire to have these flowers, when 

 the dazzling blooms strike the eye 

 in the balmy days of spring. But it 

 is then too late for the immediate 

 realization of this desire. The bulbs 

 must be obtained and planted in the 

 fall. This done, time and nature will 

 combine to produce an abundance of 

 beautiful flowers to gratify and de- 

 light the grower. 



We issue every August a Catalogue 

 of Bulbs, containing a large list of 

 the choicest varieties, first-class 

 stock, with directions for culture. A 

 copy of this Catalogue is regularly 

 sent to our old patrons, whose names 

 are on our list, and will be cheer- 

 fully sent free to any one else on 

 application to us.
