SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS. 



BULBS ARE NOT SENT POSTPAID. 



Caladium Esculentum &"^{%^re 



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 

 of foliage in the garden. Large-sized bulbs, each 15 cents. 

 Medium-sized bulbs 10c. 



f^n nnn^ "^^^ Canna is one of the most beautiful of all 

 \^CiriflCl^ 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 abund- 

 ance 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 one to two feet apart according to circumstances. 

 Roots, 5 cents each; 50 cents a dozen. 



Dahlias 



The Dahlia is one of the showiest of all au- 

 tumn flowers, Commencing to flower in 

 July, they are a perfect blaze of bloom until stopped by 



frost. Especially fine for cut-flowers. I know of nothing 

 more showy for table decoration than a loosely arranged 

 bouquet of long-stemmed dahlias. Each, lo cents; dozen, $1. 



t/yf^/^/g/ ^ One of the most attractive of summer" 

 %jriUUlULU^ flowering bulbs. Excellent for mixed 

 beds, and produce gorgeous effects if massed in large clumps.

 intervals from April till June. Extra-sized bulbs, per dozen, 

 15 cents, per 100, $1.C0. 



Madeira Vinel^pots

 very rapid growth 

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

 en 25 cents; 100 12.25. If by mail, add 5 cents per dozen for
