CALADIUM ESCULENTUM. — Elephant’s Ear. 
One of the handsomest of the ornamental-leaved plants. 
toots 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 three feet or more 
in Jength, nearly as broad. There is nothing so good 
as this Caladium for a grand bed of foliage in the 
garden. Large-sized bulbs, 15c. and 25ec. 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 beautiful 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; 
50e. a dozen. 
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. Hach, 10c.; 
dozen, $1.00. 
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 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 Tuberoses are all first-sized, and 
splendid bulbs. Per doz., 20c.; per 100, $1.25.
