 flower and beauty of coloring to the highest-priced Named Sorts, costing many times as much. 



They are Easy to Grow and Sure to Bloom. — Plant (after danger of freezing is past) in ordi- 

 nary soil, 3 inches deep and 6 or 8 inches apart, and they will soon throw up tall spikes of beautiful flowers 

 of the most brilliant and gorgeous colors, crimson, scarlet, purple, orange, white, etc., with all imaginable

 their season. By planting at two or three different times you can have a constant succession of bloom from 

 July to November. After the bloom is over and before cold weather, the bulbs should be lifted and stored 

 in a dry place, secure from frost, where they will keep nicely and be ready to plant again next season.
