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 summer and fall. They are also very useful to fill up vacant spots in a hardy border of per- 

 ennials, adding to it a dash of color. After the tops have been killed off by frost, all of the bulbs 

 (with the exception of Cinnamon Vine) should be taken up and stored in the cellar over winter, 

 as they are not hardy.

 quently 4 feet long by 3 feet wide; height. 4 to S feet. 

 Plant after the ground has warmed up, and take up 

 before frost. (See illustration.)

 and free from insects. The white flowers, while insig- 

 nificant, emit a delightful dnnamon-like perfume. The

 in winter, the vines shoot up with great rapidity in the
