Flowering Plants 
Iris (German Blue) — Very hardy. 15 cents 
each; $1.50 per dozen. 
German Iris (Flag) — Color ivory white and 
yellow; very hardy. 15 cents each; $1.50 per

Gladiolus — Blooms only once, and although 
its beauty lasts only a short time, it is beloved 
by everybody who knows it. The flowers are 
borne on spikes 2 to 3 feet long and blooms in 
success for 8 to 12 days, the lower flowers 
blooming first. To have a continuance in bloom 
the bulbs ought to be planted at intervals 
of every two weeks from March 1 until the end 
of May. My bulbs are extra large, well ma- 
tured and taken only from the best varieties. 
Bulbs, extra large, of the finest varieties that 
money can buy. 50 cents per dozen; $3.50 per 
100 .

fine bulbs, and have the grandest flowers you

ever introduced, surpassing the finest Cannas 
for attractiveness and brilliancy, equal to the 
Gladiolus as a cut flower, and blooms inces- 
santly from June until December. Plants are 
hardy in open ground. Strong roots. 25 cents 
each; $2.50 per dozen. 
Caladium Esculantum (Elephant’s Ear) — One 
of the most effective plants in cultivation for 
the flower border or for planting out upon the 
lawn. It will grow in any good garden soil, 
and is of the earliest culture, but to obtain the 
best results it should be planted in rich com- 
post and plentifully supplied with water. Price, 
medium bulbs. 25 cents each; $2.50 per dozen. 
Large, 50 cents each. 
Mexican Tuberoses — Unlike any other variety 
it has stiff, tall stems; flowers pure white, 
single, delightfully fragrant, blooms continu- 
ously. Invaluable either for pots or open 
garden. Large bulbs, 5 cents each; 50 cents 
per dozen. 
Shasta Daisies — Burbank’s great production. 
Largest flowers and constant bloomers of all 
daisies. Wonderfully hardy, especially in sum- 
mer. Strong plants. 5 cents each; 50 cents 
per dozen. 
Malvaviscus Drummondii — A native of Texas, 
producing during summer a profusion of nice 
scarlet flowers and edible fruit. 25 cents each;

Sweet Williams — Best mixed, strong plants. 
Per dozen, 15 cents. 
Carnations 
The Carnation excels all other flowers, the 
rose alone excepted. If planted in the open 
ground it will bloom all summer, and if taken 
out and brought indoors at the approach of 
cold weather, it will bloom in winter. 
Mixed Color (Seedlings) — Grown from the 
very best Italian seed. 50 cents per dozen. 
Dahlias 
Strong bulbs, 25 cents each; $2.50 per dozen; 
$20.00 per 100. 
Another beautiful perennial of great magnif- 
icence, raising its brilliantly colored flowers on 
lofty stems. We have only the very latest and 
best varieties. 
For many years we have tried to get the 
Dalhia true to name, and have never succeeded 
in getting them until this year. We purchased 
the highest priced varieties from the Dahlia 
King at Bridgewater, Mass., of the Dahlias that 
were awarded the first prize at the World’s 
Fair at St. Louis, and we are now able to 
furnish bulbs of highest quality and true name. 
We have secured them directly from the Dahlia 
King regardless of price, and are sure our cus- 
tomers would rather pay a little more and get 
the very best than any others. 
The Dahlia thrives best in a sunny location 
with ordinary soil. 
Decorative Dahlias

rich, yellow — one of the finest yellow Dahlias 
to date. The blossoms are large and produced 
upon good, long, stiff stems. Very free flower- 
ing. Price 60 cents each.
