Hardy Flowering Bulbs and Tubers. 
"Kl ° S^,!"^^ °^ plants can give more genuine pleasure to their owner than those which spring from hardy 
H oulpous or tuberous roots, a delightful stimulus to the work of planting and caring for them being the 
> fact that they are sure to flower, not only the first season but for years afterwards, the number of 
<- 1°^^''^ increasing as the clumps grow in size. So large, varied and adaptable is this class of plants 
that their flowers brighten every season of the year-Crocus, Snowdrop, and a train of magnificent Dutch 
bulbs usher in the early spring, other genera and species, equally as handsome, flower through summer and 
autumn, and potted Dutch bulbs bloom readily in winter. Immensely popular as these bulbs and tubers are, 
many more ot them wou d be planted if planting and flowering time came in the same season. The sprinR 
and summer display of their brilliant blossoms at once causes a great demand for the roots, for which the 
proper planting time is in autumn. We offer a select list of all the best Hardy Tlowering Bulbs and Tubers.
