GALADIUM ESCULENTUM— Elephant's Ear. One of 

 the handsomest of the ornamental-leaved plants. Roots ob- 

 tained 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 

 three 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, 15c. and 25c. each. Medium-sized bulbs, 10c. 



CANNAS.— The Canna is one of the most beautiful of all 

 bedding plants. No other plant is better adapted to our climate, 

 and nothing, costing so little, excels them for masses and beau- 

 tiful foliage, as well as the abundance of dazzling bloom in many 

 shades. Plant out doors 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. Roots 

 5c. each, 50c. a dozen. 



DAHLIAS. — The Dahlia is one of the showiest of all autumn 

 flowers. Commencing to flower in July, they are a perfect blaze 



SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS 



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. Each, 10c. 

 Dozen, $1.00. 



GLADIOLUS. — One of the most attractive of summer 

 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 till June. 

 Extra-sized bulbs, per dozen, 20c. Per 100, §1.25. 



MADEIRA VINE ROOTS.— On account of its very rapid 

 growth and thick shade, this is one of the most popular climbers. 

 Will run twenty feet or more in a season. Each, 5c. Dozen, 

 30c. 100, $2.25. 



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 Tube- 

 roses are all first-sized, and splendid bulbs. Per dozen, 20c. 

 Per 100, $1.25.
