Miscellaneous Summer - Flowering 



: : BULBS : : 



FOR SPRING PLANTING. 



This class includes some.of our showiest garden flowers. 

 They are of the easiest culture; planted in spring in 

 good garden soil, they flower with great certainty during 

 summer and fall. The hardy sorts may remain in the 

 ground over winter, but the tender sorts are to be taken 

 up after the foliage has ripened in the fall, and the bulbs 

 stored away in a dry, cool place until planting time the 

 next spring. 



AMORPHOPHALLUS RIVIERI 



Is a showy plant, with enormous palm-like leaves, 3 to 4 

 feet in diameter, spreading in the shape of an umbrella; 

 the green stem is marbled brown and white; a desirable 

 plant for specimens or groups on a lawn. The large, deep 

 red flowers are produced before the leaves appear. It is 

 chiefly grown, however, for the lu.\uriant tropical effect of 

 the foliage. Plant out in May. Price, 50c. each; S5.0I) 

 per doz. For Free Delivery add oc. each. 



APIOS TUBEROSA 



An elegant climbing plant, growing from 8 to 10 feet 

 high, bearing large clusters of brownish-purple sweet- 

 scented flowers in July. The tubers may be planted any 

 time in spring, the earlier the better, and as they arc 

 perfectly hardy they require no further attention. The 

 vine dies down every winter, but starts early in the 

 spring. Price, 10c. each; SI. 00 per doz. 



CALADIUM ESCULENTUM 



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

 the lawn, or for bordering large sub-tropical groups. In deep, rich soil, if freely 

 watered, they produce enormous leaves, frequently 4 feet long by 3 feet wide.

CINNAMON VINE 



A most beautiful and satisfactory hardy climber for covering trellis, piazzas, 

 screens or anything on which the vines can twine; it grows from 15 to 30 feet high 

 ind when the roots become large and 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 are borne in clusters and, while insignificant they emit 

 a most delightful cinnamon-like perfume. The roots are thoroughly hardy, remain 

 in the ground for years, increasing in size and vigor, but the vine dies down every 

 winter, shooting up with great rapidity in the spring. {See cut.) Price, extra 

 large 2-year-old roots. 12c. each, SI. 25 per doz.. $10.00 per 100; strong 1-year-old 

 roots, 8c. each, 75c. per doz., $6.00 per 100.

 spikes 4 to 5 feet in height, each bearing 20 to 30 large white bell-shaped

 the center of beds of

 star-like form, with long tubes; the flowers are carried in upright clusters on stems 12 to 16 inches 

 high. The bulbs may be planted in the garden in spring; they will then flower during the summer and 

 should be taken up in the fall and stored away like Gladiolus bulbs, or they may be flowered in pots if 

 desired. Price, 10c. each; $1.00 per doz.
