SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS AND ROOTS 



These Bulbs Grow Quickly — Very Showy — 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 Perennials adding to it a dash of color here and there. 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.

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

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