W 51. VERBENA.—A choice annual, 6 to 18 inches high 
indespensable for bedding purposes. Flowers, white 
scarlet, red, crimson, purple, etc. To hasten bloom it is 
better to start the seed in-doors. The plants should 
stand about one foot apart in the open ground, and the 
flowers should be cut frequently. Seedling verbenas 
are stronger than others. M 
52. ZENN1A—Hardy annual plant one to two feet 
high. Suited to all situations and soils. The bloom is 
always gay and profuse, and the range of coler endless. 
No flowers are more showy. Sow seed in the open 
ground, and transplant or thin out to one foot apart.

age except those where prices are given, following the 
name and description. Customers ordering flower seed 
need not undertake to write the name of each variety, but

Summer Flowering Bulbs. 
Esculentum 
(Elephant Ears) 
There Is no clas* of flowers and vines more satisfactory and 
•urn in do well than the summer flowering oulbs. They have 
ftitntigh life stored in the bulb to go ahead and bloom and do 
well if given half a show. They are sure to grow in most any 
kind of soil. 1 could offer quite a good many varieties, but I 
think best, to only list a few of the favorites tnat are sure to 
fivA mitiafaction and that are reasonable in price. 
- DAHLIAS.—The dahlia is the queen of all the summer and 
fall ’flowers, as the rose is of the early summer. They are of many 
. 'dors and very pretty and will grow in any kind of soil and give con¬ 
tinuous blooms from late June until killed by frost. They cover a 
time of the yoar when otner flowers are scarce, an lare fine forboquets poiodinm 
and decorations of any kind. The colors range from pure white to 
tlm deepest red. The number of shades is almost endless. The roots 
will keep taken up in the fall and stored like potatoes until spring. 
There is an endless list of named varieties of every conceivable color 
«l/n and shape. I have thrown out the poor ones and am offering only 
the oroam or the list, and I think it will be most satisfactory to offer 
in mixed colors. Those bulbs can put in the same package with 
plants, and I advise every one to order a few, and assure you that 
with ever so little attention 
you will be well rewarded by 
the . beauty an d pleasure they will add to your home during the summer. 
I quote roots of tall growing varieties, each one different and everyone 
a named variety and labeled true to name for $ 1.00 per dozen by express, 
receiver to pay charges or $1.25 per dozen by mail postpaid I quote 
twelve roots, each one different, in low growing varieties, mostly pompons 
for $1.00 by express, receiver to pay charges or $1.25 by mail postpaid 
I quote twelve roots, all different colors, no two alike, not named or 
labeled; by express for 75c. or by mail postpaid for $1.00. I have a lot of 
seedlings, no two alike, including all shades of colors, mostly semi-double, 
which I quote for 60 cents per dozen by express or 85 cents by mail post¬ 
paid. These mixtures include many of the very newest and latest va¬ 
rieties, many of which are listed in the big retail seed catalogues for 
15 cents to 25 cents apiece. If ordered at the same time when you are or¬ 
dering plants, a dozen bulbs can go right in the same package with them 
and add very little to the size and weight of the package. 
- '^GLADIOLUS .—1 believe if I were limited to just one variety of flower 
bulbs, I would choose the Gladiolus in preference to any other unless it 
is the Dahlia. It has all colors of the rainbow; and is beautiful either 
growing or picked. If planted at intervals of about two weeks it nas a 
long flowering season and will bloom and grow in any soil, in any 
weather, and for anyone. I have never known anyone to fail with it if 
they had good bulbs to start with. The picture shown here gives you 
only a faint idea of how beautiful they are. I have one of the best 
mixtures known as Groff’s hybrids. Prices 35c. a dos., 40 fer $1.00 or $2.50 
per 100. This is for good well developed bulbs, all blooming size. They 
run froy l ^t o 1 A inc hes in dia meter. _ • - 
CALADIUM or ELEPHANTS EAR.—These plants do not bloom but are 
valuable for the appearance of the enormous leaves. They grow often 
three feet and over in longth and one and a half to two feet broad 
and make a line background growth for flowers, or make a very fine show¬ 
ing planted in beds. The past season I had two large beds with about 100 
bulbs in each that made a wonderful growth. They stood up to my 
shoulders and had many leaves three feet long and one and a half to 
two feet broad. If given plenty of moisture and rich soil they will do 
as well out in the open bed as anywhere. Do not fail to plant a few. 
SmalPbulbs one inch in diameter 5c. each; 40c. per dozen; medium size 
bulbs IA to 2 inches in diameter, 10c. each; , 75c. per dozen; extra lartre
