SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS 



CALADIUM ESCULENTIUM (ELEPHANT'S 

 EAR). — One of the handsomest of the ornamental- 

 leaved plants. Roots obtained in the spring will 

 make good plants in the summer, and in the fall 

 they should be taken up and stored in the cellar. 

 Leaves 3 feet or more in length, nearly as broad. 

 There is nothing so good as this Caladium for a 

 grand bed for foliage in the garden. Large-sized 

 bulbs. Price on application. 



CANNAS. — The Canna is one of the most beauti- 

 ful of all bedding plants. No other plant is better 

 adapted to our climate, and nothing costing so little 

 excels them for masses and beautiful foliage as well 

 as the abundance of dazzling bloom in many shades. 

 Plant outdoors about the middle of May, if the 

 weather is warm and settled. When planting out 

 the bulbs, do not water too freely until well started; 

 then they should have an abundance.- Set the bulbs 

 1 to 2 feet apart, according to circumstances. Price 

 on application. 



DAHLIAS The Dahlia is one of the showiest of 



all autumn flowers. Commencing to flower in July, 

 they are a perfect blaze of bloom until stopped by 

 frost. Especially fine for cut flowers. We know of 

 nothing more showy for table decoration than a 

 loosely-arranged bouquet of long-stemmed dahlias. 

 Price on application. 



GLADIOLUS. — One of the most attractive of sum- 

 mer flowering bulbs. Excellent for mixed beds, and 

 produce gorgeous effects if massed in large clumps. 

 For a succession of bloom throughout the summer 

 plant at intervals from April until June. Extra- 

 sized bulbs. 



MADEIRA VINE ROOTS. — One account of its very 

 rapid growth and thick shade, this is one of the 

 most popular climbers. Will run 20 feet or more 

 in a season. 



TUBEROSE. — The Tuberose is a beautiful pure 

 white, waxlike, very sweet-scented, double flower, 

 growing on tall stems, each stem bearing a dozen 

 or more flowers. Our Tuberoses are all first-sized 

 and splendid bulbs. Price on application.
