PLANTED IN EARLY SPRING THEY BLOOM AT VARIOUS PERIODS DURING THE ENTIRE SUMMER 



The Superior Quality of Our Bulbs Is the Cause of Them Producing Larger and Handsomer Flowers, More Abundantly 

 Than Those Offered By Others. 



Care of the Bulbs. -The following should be planted in the garden in early spring, after severe freezing is past; they will soon be 

 flourishing and bloom all summer. In autumn before freezing the bulbs should be lifted and stored in the cellar or similar ^ place away^trom 

 frost, and planted again the following spring. Those marked hardy may remain in the open ground all the year round, 

 at prices quoted.
