flower.

among flowers.

A profuse bloomer, fine for cutting. 
Mina Burgle —-Best scarlet-red decorative Dahlia ever intro¬ 
duced. This wonderful Dahlia is a California introduction and 
is the best of its color. The form is perfect deco¬ 
rative type, petals being broad and flat; has a per¬ 
fectly full center and is a Dahlia that can be grown 
to an immense size with ordinary treatment. It 
shows finely under artificial light and for cutting 
purposes is unsurpassed. 
Maude Adams —The color is a pure snowy-white, 
very effectively overlaid clear delicate pink. This 
wonderful variety is unsurpassed in quality in 
every respect, in reality a model of perfection. We 
highly recommend this variety.

uring six inches across. Color dark, glowing crim¬

Queen Victoria—Show —Pure canary yellow, one 
of the freest bloomers. Good for cutting. 
HARDY LILIES 
Most Lilies will succeed in any light, sandy or 
loamy soil if sufficiently enriched and properly 
drained. Decayed peat and leaf mold are often suc¬ 
cessfully mixed with the other soil. Well-rotted 
cow manure is best, thoroughly mixed in followed 
in after years by top dressing. Fresh manure must 
be avoided. 
In garden planting, the bulbs should be set no 
less than three times their own depth and mulched 
heavily after the first frosts come, for winter pro¬ 
tection. In locating these plantings remember that 
Lilies object to frequent removal; they should be 
left undisturbed several years. Prices include de¬ 
livery to you. 
Auratum 
Dorothy Peacock—Show— The most exquisitely 
beautiful bright sea shell pink Dahlia on earth. 
Vivian—Show —A great favorite, color being 
white, effectively edged rose-violet. 
Darlene —It will produce perfectly formed flowers 
through the hot, dry season. It will begin blooming 
earlier than any other variety we know of and 
continues to give good flowers until cut down by 
frost. It is a good keeper when cut and a most 
desirable color. You can depend on getting an 
abundance of flowers. It is an exquisite shade of 
live shell pink with dainty blending of white at 
center. Its delicate coloring makes it a useful 
flower. Medium to large size. 
Caladium, or Elephants Ear 
Bulbs may be planted out-doors as soon as danger 
of frost is over, covering about three inches deep. 
But little water must be given to the roots till 
active growth commences when, as the plants de¬ 
velop, they require an abundance.
