THE ORNAMENTAL ALLIUMS 
For the border, the rockery, or the wild garden 
nothing can be more delightful than the bloom 
from these dainty hardy bulbs and bulb-like 
plants. They are easily grown from seeds, flower¬ 
ing surely in one season and enduring for years. 
The airy flower clusters are as diverse in form 
as in coloring, and the different kinds in their 
blooming cover the full period from April until 
October. If you try them, you will like them.
