FANCY-LEAVED CALADIUMS 
Few, if any, of the summer foliage plants equal the Fancy-leaved 
Caladiums in their rich and gorgeous, yet soft, coloring. ' All the 
varieties are of marvelous beauty for the furnishing of the con¬ 
servatory during the summer months, or even for outdoor bedding 
in shady or semi-shady positions. Bulbs do best if started in pots, 
planting one bulb to a 6-inch pot. Plant and handle similar to indoor 
culture of tuberous-rooted begonias. Each Doz. too

CALADIUM ESCULENTUM 
Elephant’s Ear 
One of the most effective plants in cultivation for beds, borders or 
for planting out upon the lawn. Very frequently used as border plants 
about suburban residences, where their large, rich green leaves afford 
an excellent embellishment when contrasted with the colors of the 
dwellings. Leaves often measure 3 to 4 feet long and 2feet wide. 
Plant outdoors about June 1. Each Doz. 100

CINNAMON VINE (Oioscorea Batatas) 
A beautitul, rapid-growing summer climber, with bright green, 
glossy foliage, and spikes of deliciously cinnamon-scented, white 
flowers. It is perfectly hardy, the stem dying down in winter, but 
growing with great rapidity in the spring, so as to cover any trellis 
or arbor very early in the season. Selected roots, 15 cts. each, 
$1.25 per doz., $9 per 100. 
DIELYTRA SPECTABILIS (Dicentra) 
Bleeding Heart or Seal Flower 
An old-fashioned favorite; its long racemes of graceful heart- 
shaped pink flowers are always attractive. It is used largely for 
forcing, but is also excellent for the garden border and especially 
valuable for planting in the shade. Strong clumps, 50 cts. each, 
$5 per doz., $40 per 100. 
GLOXINIAS 
This is, perhaps, one of the handsomest of summer-blooming, 
tuberous-rooted plants and should be grown more by the amateur 
than it has been. As a pot-plant for the window-garden it is grand. 
The main points to observe are, proper care in watering, good drain¬ 
age and properly mixed soil. The cultural directions given for begonias 
might also be followed for starting and growing Gloxinias. One bulb 
is usually used for a 4-inch pot. 
S. & W. Co.’s Mixture. A mixture of crimson, scarlet, pink, 
violet, and white. 40 cts. each, $4 per doz., $30 per 100. 
HYACINTHUS CANDICANS 
Luxuriant, free-growing summer-flowering plant; spreads 2 to 3 
feet, throwing up great, tall spikes, 4 to 5 feet in height, each bearing 
twenty to thirty large, white, bell-shaped flowers. Choice bulbs, 
15 cts. each, $i.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
Dielytra spectabilis 
Lily-of-the-Valley 
ISMENE CALATHINA 
Pancratium Lily; Peruvian Daffodil 
A choice flowering bulb, blooming profusely during the summer. 
Clusters of large, strikingly fragrant, pearly white flowers. Bulbs 
should be kept warm and dry and planted out the middle of May; 
they will commence flowering in July. Before freezing weather sets 
in, they should be lifted and kept in a warm, dry place. Large bulbs, 
25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz., $15 per 100. 
LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY PIPS 
In the past, many garden enthusiasts have planted clumps of 
Lily-of-the-Valley in sheltered locations in their gardens. On account 
of the ruling of the Federal Horticultural Board, these clumps, before 
leaving Europe, must have all soil removed from their roots. Our 
experience in the past is that clumps received with the soil 
removed are not satisfactory for outdoor planting. The best way 
to get a good Lily-of-the-Valley bed, and the method used by pro¬ 
fessional gardeners, is to plant two-year-old pips 4 inches apart. 
This method will produce a better bed than by using clumps. We 
offer pips of smaller size than those used for growing Lily-of-the- 
Valley indoors for this purpose and at attractive prices. 
10 pips 60 cts., 25 pips $1.25, 100 pips $4, 1,000 pips $35 
For Greenhouse Growing 
In judging the price of our Lily-of-the-Valley, please remember 
that the best is the cheapest. Our Valley is positively among the 
best. Is bought at open prices, with instructions for a selection of 
the best-developed pips. Our long experience and large importations 
have commanded this extra selection. For growing indoors these 
pips are the best that can be planted. 
25 pips $2.50, 100 pips $8, 250 pips $19, 500 pips $37, 1,000 pips $70 
MADEIRA VINE (Climbing Mignonette) 
A beautiful and popular vine, covering a large space in a short 
time. Fleshy heart-shaped leaves of a light green, and numerous 
racemes of feathery flowers of delightful fragrance. Protect with 
litter in this latitude. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100.
