Handy Flower-Garden Helps 



While none of the bulbs described on this 

 and preceding pages need any "fussing 

 about" in order to give you thorough satis- 

 faction, yet the plants do ap- 

 preciate mulching and 

 weedless ground in which to 

 grow. The women especially 

 love to dig about the flower- 

 beds, and the three little 

 Weeders shown alongside 

 are just the thing to make 

 this "dinkering" effective of 

 best results. 



We quote on these 

 Weeders as follows: 



Excelsior. (1 lb.) 15 cts. 



Hazeltine. (lib.) 40 cts. 



Magic. Nos. 1, 2 and 2V. 

 (1 lb.) 30 cts., 40 cts. and

Excelsior Weeder 



Magic Weeder 



Gladioli 



Summer-flowering bulbs of the very easiest 

 culture and with a wide range of color. Ele- 

 gant for the garden or beautiful for cut-flower 

 purposes. For the latter use they should be 

 cut when the first flower opens; the balance 

 of buds will develop when spikes are placed in 

 water and thus greatly prolong the blooming 

 term. Plantings may be made every two 

 weeks to provide for a succession. We offer 

 the leading mixtures and excellent named 

 varieties.
