BULBS FOR SPRING PLANTING 
GLADIOLUS. 
The most attractive and best known of all summer-flowering bulbs, the 
wonderful improvements made in size, color and general beauty in the past 
few years are amazing, when compared with the varieties of a few years 
ago. We have a fine collection of the best and newest named varieties in 
all colors. 10c. each, $1.00 per doz. 
Groff’s Hybrids. This magnificent strain has a world-wide reputation and 
is the result of many years patient work by a careful hybridizer. We 
offer these in two grades. 
Cold Medal Hybrids. The finest and best of Mr. GROFF’S creations. It is 
prepared with the view of providing the amateur with the best collec- 
tion of the modern Gladiolus. Finest mixed, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz. 
Silver Trophy Strain This selection is from the earlier hybrids of Mr. 
Groff and while not as fine as the preceding, so great is the diversity of 
color that there is practically no risk of getting two alike. 5c. each; 50c. 
per doz. 
TUBEROSES. 
A beautiful and delightfully fragrant summer flowering bulb, and very 
easily grown. For early blooming they may be started in the hot-bed or the 
house in March and for succession of flowers may be planted every two 
weeks until July, or they may be planted in the open ground in June. 
Excelsior Pearl. Beautiful spikes of double pure white fragrant flowers. 
Fine large bulbs, 5c. each, 3 for 10c., 35c. per doz. 
Started in pots, 15e. each, $1.50 per doz. 
HARDY LILIES. 
Plant in the open ground not less than 5 inches deep, the larger kinds 
deeper. The beds should be underdrained if inclined to be wet. If the soil 
is heavy or compact, sand or coal ashes should be well worked in the soil 
to lighten it. Although all are hardy, the beds should be well covered with 
leaves or manure to the depth of 8 or 10 inches, in the fall. 
Auratum. (Gold Banded Lily.) One of the most fragrant and beautiful 
Lilies grown. The flowers are of the largest size, measuring nearly a 
foot across, of a pure white, with crimson spots, while a band of golden 
yellow runs through each petal. Strong bulbs, 35c. each.
