BULBS AND ROOTS 
SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS 
GLADIOLI 
You are sure of fine flowers if you plant Gladiolus, the most attractive of all summer flower¬ 
ing bulbs. They need only a little culture to keep the weeds down, will grow in any good gar¬ 
den soil and with ordinary rainfall seldom fail to flower the same season because their growth 
is assured from the stored up strength in the bulbs. Wonderful improvements have been made 
recently in the size and colorings of these flowers. Plant about the 1st of May. 
DOUGLAS, MKS. LEON. Very large spike and 
blossoms, of begonia rose color, slightly speckled 
and striped. Has been very popular.

Cut flower. 
EBERIUS, ANNA. Dark velvety purple. One of 
the most beautiful of this shade. A fine cut flower.

white lines on lower petals. An older variety but 
still among the finer ones for cut flowers, many

bouquet of Phipps is something you will never for¬ 
get. This variety has the highest rank today.
