Lilium pliilippinense formosanum 
BULBS 
Among the bulbous plants 
will be found some of the love¬ 
liest of our garden flowers. 
Bulbs are easy to grow, most 
of them are very little troubled 
by disease or insects, and they 
last for years. Some are per¬ 
manent—once planted they 
need not be disturbed; others, 
like Cannas, Gladiolus, Tigri- 
dias, should be taken up and 
stored over winter. 
Canna, King Humbert 
Great spikes of brilliant or¬ 
ange-scarlet flowers on a vigorous 
plant, with coppery bronze foli¬ 
age. They like rich soil and 
plenty of water, and bloom from 
early summer until frost. Dig 
after frost kills the foliage and 
store in a dry place. 25 cts. 
each; $2.50 per doz. 
Gladiolus 
Plant in good soil in spring, 
from 4 to 6 inches deep, and dig 
as soon as foliage dies in the fall, 
storing in a dry place over win¬ 
ter. We have one of the most 
extensive collections of cut- 
flower varieties in the East. 
Prices range from 5 to 10 cts.
