 are stronger than others.

Summer Flowering Bulbs. 



There is no clas j of flowers and vines more satisfactory and 



sure to do well than the summer flowering bulbs. They i ave 



enough life stored in the bulb to go ahead and bloom and do 



well if given half a show. They are sure to grow in most an/ 



kind of soil. 1 could offer quite a good many varieties, but I 



think best to only list a few of the farorites that are sure to 



give satisfaction and that are reasonable in price. 



DAHLIAS.— The dahlia is ihe queen of all the summer and 



fall flowers, as the rose is of the early summer. They are of many\ 



colors and very pretty and will grow in anv kind of soil and give con- 

 tinuous blooms from late June until killed by frost. They cover a 



time of the year when otner flowers are scarce, and are fine for b >quets- Palafiiii i 



and decorations of any kind. The colors' range from pure white to v « lla ' u ^ l> ,, 



the deepest red. The number of shades is almost endless. The roots 



will keep taken up in tbe fall and stored like potatoes until spring. 



There is an endless list of named varieties of every conceivable color 



size and shape. 1 have thrown out the poor ones and am offering only 



the cream of the list, and I think it will be most satisfactor> to offer 



in mixed colors. These bulbs can put in the same package with 



plants, and I advise every one to order a few, and assure you that 



with evtr so little attention 

 you will be well rewarded by 



the beauty and pleasure they will add to your home during the summer, 

 I quote roots of tall growing varieties, each one different and everyone 

 a named variety and labeled true to nam« for $1.00 per^dozen by express, 

 receiver to pay charges or $I.2."> per dozen by mail postpaid. I quote 

 twelve roots, each one different, in low growing varieties, mostly pompons,

 labeled; by express for 75c. or by mail postpaid for $1.00. I have a lot of 

 seedlings, no two alike, including all shades of colors, mostly semi-double, 

 which I quote for BO cents per dozen by express or 85 cents by mail post- 

 paid. These mixtures include many of the very newest and latest va- 

 rieties, many of which are listed in the big retail seed catalogues for 



/ S^f^^ Lv> i/^l'\ ffl WP~*' ■ ■Z^'-fT&'-vm f~ Mr l' 1 r, ' ,lts to 25 cents apiece. If ordered at the same time when you are or- 



^Lt^L^STg I ^W$ W' \ Tft EX 'skWd^Z dering plants, a dozen bulbs can go right in the same package with them 



and add very little to the size and weight of the package. 



GLADIOLUS. -I believe if I were limited to just one variety of flower 

 bulbs, I would choose the Gladiolus in preference to any other unless it 

 is the Dahlia. It has all colors of the rainbow; and is beautiful either 

 growing or picked. If planted at intervals of about two weeks it has a 

 long flowering season and will bloom and grow in any soil, in any 

 weather, and for anyone. I - have never known anyone to fail with it if 

 tliey had good bulbs to start with. The picture shown here gives you 

 only a faint idea of how beautiful they are. I have one of the best 

 mixtures known as Groff's hybrids. Prices 35c. a do^., 40 fer $1.00 or $2.50 

 per 100. This is for good well developed bulbs, all blooming size. They 

 run from 1 to 1 H inches in diameter. 



CALADIUM or ELEPHANTS EAR.— These plants do not bloom but are 

 valuable for the appearance of the enormous leaves. They grow often 

 three feet and over in langth and one and a half to two feet broad 

 and make a fine background growth for flowers, or make a very fine show- 

 ing planted in beds. The past season I had two large beds with about 100 

 bulba in each that made a wonderful growth. They stood up to my 

 shoulders and had many leaves three feet long and one and a half to 

 two feet broad. If given plenty of moisture and rich soil they will do 

 as well out in the open bed as anywhere. Do not fail to plant a few. 



Small;bulbs one inch in diameter ftc. each; 40c. per dozen; medium size 

 bulbs W to 2 inches in diameter, 10c. each;; 75c. per dozen; extra large 

 bulbs 2 .'* to 3 inches in diameter, 20c. each.|
