HENDERSON'S SELECTED 



SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS 



These Bulbs Grow Quickly — Easy 

 Culture 



The bulbs offered on this page include some of our showiest 

 garden flowers. They are of easiest culture; planted in spring in 

 good garden soil, they flower with great certainty during the sum- 

 mer and fall. They are also very useful to fill up vacant spots in a 

 hardy border of perennials, adding to it a dash of color. After the 

 tops have been killed off by frost, all of the bulbs (with the excep- 

 tion of Cinnamon Vine) should be taken up and stored in the cellar 

 over winter, as they are not hardy. 



Cinnamon Vine 



CALLA (Elliotiana) 



The yellow Calla; large rich, deep golden flowers often 4 to 5 inches across at the 

 mouth; habit of growth and foliage like the old favorite white Calla excepting 

 the leaves of Elliotiana are spotted with whire. (See colored plate page 95.) 

 Dry bulbs. Price, 35c each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100: transportation 

 paid. 



CALADIUM ESCULENTUM 



"Elephant's Ear." Grand tropical-looking plant. A favorite for specimens on 

 the lawn, or for bordering large sub-tropical groups. They produce enormous

 ground has warmed up, and take up before frost. (.See illustration.)

A beautiful, hardy climber for anything on which the vines can twine; it' grows 

 from 15 to 30 feet high, and when established the vines attain a much greater 

 length. The leaves are green, thick and glossy, always clean, healthy and free 

 from insects. The white flowers, while insignificant, emit a delightful cinnamon- 

 like perfume. The roots are quite hardy and, although the stems die down in 

 winter, the vines shoot up with great rapidity in the spring, and cover trellises 

 or arbors quite early in the season. (See illustration.)
