EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Flower Bulb; 



Summer Flowering Bulbs 



Produce Quick Results — 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. After the tops have been killed off by frost, all 

 of the bulbs (with the exception of Dielytra and Cinnamon Vine) should be taken up and stored in the cellar over winter. 



If the planting season should have become well advanced, those who have neglected to plant flower seeds will find that they 

 may still have sightly flower beds on the lawn or in the garden by planting these bulbs. They also add a dash of color to the 

 hardy border. 



Caladium Esculentum 



or "Elephant's Ear" 



Grand, tropical-looking plant. A favorite for specimens on the lawn, or 

 for bordering large sub-tropical groups. They produce enormous leaves 

 frequently 4 feet long by 3 feet wide; height 4 to 5 feet. (See illustration.) 



First Size. Price. 30c. each; $0.00 per doz.

Cinnamon Vine 



A beautiful, hardy climber for anything on which the vines can twine; 

 it grows from 15 to 30 feet high, and when 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, while insignificant, 

 emit a delightful cinnamon-like perfume. Price, extra large, 2-year- 

 old roots, 20c each; $2.00 per doz. (Transportation paid.) 



Crinum 



Kirkii. Produces flowers of the greatest beauty. Usually two flower 

 stalks of dark purplish color are sent up at the same time, each bearing a 

 large umbel of enormous Lilylike flowers, of white, with a reddish purple 

 stripe through the center. Extra large bulbs, 30c. each: $5.00 per doz.

 Vines on the Henderson Knockdown Trellis offered on page 1H6. 



Yellow Calla Elliotianna 



The Yellow Calla is considered the most beautiful of all the Callas. The rich deep golden 

 flowers which are produced in abundance often measure from 4 to 5 inches across at the 

 mouth. The foliage is most attractively spotted so that it is even a very showy house plant 

 when not in bloom. The plant averages about two feet in height. They can be 

 planted in the open ground in the spring when danger from frost is over and treated in 

 the same manner as Gladi- 

 olus and Tuberose bulbs.
