SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS 
trials of all the foremost varieties of Dahlias, Cannas, Tuberoses, Gladioli and Caladiums, we make 
very careful field notes and selections to offer for sale only the varieties that repeatedly show them- 
selves to be the verv best of their types. We make our selections for the strains that have the 
strongest and healthiest growth, the greatest brilliancy of color in bloom, largest size and most 
profuse bloom and for good propagation. Flowers and plants from bulbs are probably the most 
beautiful of all flowers and are about the easiest to grow. These bulbs do fine all over the South 
and every Southern home should have Dahlias, Gladioli and Cannas. They last all summer and are 
sure to be even better through the following years. The bulbs or roots may be left in the ground 
or dug up and separated during the winter for replanting the following spring. They are really 
very cheap, especially if you consider that they last indefinitely, are the most delightful and beau- 
tiful of flowers and that they are so easily grown. 
Hundreds of tourists every dav passing through the Hastings’ Plantation, wondered at and ad- 
mired the mass and brilliancy of bloom in our bulb plots along the Dixie and National Highway.
