PREMIUM SEEDS 
Summer Flowering Bulbs and Roots 
For Spring Planting 
Bulbs are of easiest culture, Inexpensive, and require but little care. Put them In the ground out of doors 
In April and May. Some will bloom in June, and all during the same year planted. These include many 
of our most attractive plants both for foliage and flowers. Asa rule they should be planted out of doors after 
the weather has become somewhat settled and warm. After the first frost and the leaves have turned droopy 
or yellow, take up and put in a dry cellar or some other place where they will not freeze, storing in paper 
bags or soil preferably, and then replanting the following year.
