ten years, with proper care. The 
flowers are remarkably striking, of 
gorgeous colors, very numerous and 
enormous in size, often measuring 
from six to nine inches across, and 
appearing in May.

These are beautiful, showy, and easily 
cultivated plants, blooming from the be- 
ginning of May till the end of July. 
They should be placed in every garden. 
A selection will give a continuous bloom 
for three months. We offer the best sorts 
varying from pure white, pink, rose, dark 
red, purple and deep crimson. 
Fringed Leaved Paeonies— (Paeony Ten- 
uifolia, fl. pi.) — Foliage a bright

ments, giving it the appearance of

CANNA, CROCUS, DAHLIAS, ETC.

plants, for both flowers and foliage. 
They attain a height of 2 to 5 feet, 
and may be grown single or in 
masses. Leaves green or brownish 
red; flowers scarlet, crimson, yellow, 
cream, etc., variously marked. 
Crocus — A universal favorite and one of 
the earliest garden ornaments; should 
be planted about 2 inches deep. Color, 
blue, white, yellow and striped. 
Dahlias — There is nothing that, with the 
same amount of money invested, will 
give more show of flowers than 
Dahlias. We offer dry bulbs or 
tubers. 
Gladiolus — The Gladiolus is the most 
attractive of all the summer flower- 
ing bulbs, and deserves a place in 
every garden, as it is sure to flower 
and do well with very little care. 
Set the bulbs from 6 to 9 inches 
apart, and about 4 inches deep. Plant 
from middle of March to first of 
June. 
Hyacinths — The most beautiful and fra- 
grant of early spring flowering 
bulbs, much used for winter forcing. 
Iris (German). 
The true “Fleur de Lis,’’ the na 
tional flower of France. They are 
perfectly hardy. Plants well estab 
lished produce from 50 to 100 spikes 
of bloom, deliciously fragrant and 
fine for cutting. In beauty the flow- 
ers rival the finest Orchids. 
Kaemferii (Japan). 
Finest of all the Iris family. The 
flowers are of immense size, from 6 
to 8 inches in diameter, and of the 
most beautiful and delicate shades. 
They are perfectly hardy, and flower 
in great profusion during June and 
July. The Iris thrives best if plant- 
ed in moist soil. 
Jonquils (Narcissus Jonquils). 
Pretty varieties of the Narcissus, 
having a very agreeable fragrance; 
adapted to either pots or outdoor cul- 
ture. The bulbs being small, six or 
eight may be put in a 6-inch pot. 
Lily-of-the-Valley. 
This is as hardy as any plant can 
possibly be, and when planted in the 
open ground will increase rapidly. 
We can ship either in the spring or 
autumn. 
Tulips — - Without these 
bulbs, for one or two 
months of beautiful 
spring weather, our 
gardens would present 
a bare appearance. 
We know of nothing 
that for the money 
invested will give a 
more gorgeous show 
during early spring 
and there is nothing 
more easily grown 
than the Tulip. Should 
be planted in October 
or November.
