Lilium Elegans-Kinbusen above Alice Wilson below 
A COMPANION FOR MIDSUMMER LILIES 
ACONITUM SPAKKSI— This is a very fine 
form of Aconitum napellus producing a 
broad spray of blackish violet flowers 
that bloom over a long period. We grow it 
because it makes such a beautiful com¬ 
panion plant for the midsummer lilies, 
after the delphiniums have gone. It has 
received much praise from those who have 
visited our gardens. The bulbous roots 
are poisonous. This is one of the best of 
the monkshoods. Flowering size, 35c each, 
3 for 95c, 12 for $3.50; large, 50c each, 
3 for $1.35, 12 for $5.00. 
TERMS. Cash with order, check, draft or money order. Please do not send orders for 
less than $1.00. 
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS are required to obtain permits to import plants and bulbs. 
Application must be filed with the Secretary of the Destructive Insect and Pest 
Act Advisory Board, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. 
TIME OF SE1IPMENT. Unless you instruct us otherwise, shipments will be made at 
digging time in the fall. Early shipments allow bulbs and plants to become estab¬ 
lished before winter sets in. Where winters are severe, plantings of Lilium sul- 
phureum, Montbretias and Tigridias are safer made in the spring. Send us your 
order and we shall hold it for you if you wish. 25% payment will hold until ship¬ 
ping time. 
TRANSPORTATION. Prices in this catalog cover prepaid postage or express. Be 
sure to state express office if different from postal address. 
WE GUARANTEE all bulbs and plants to be true to name and to reach you in good 
and healthy condition. We cannot guarantee them to grow in your garden under 
conditions beyond our control. Complaints must be made immediately upon 
receipt of shipment.
