(See "How to Raise Tuberous-rooted Begonias" on Page 2 of the Planter's Guide. Send 10c for a Copy.) 
BEGONIA (Tuberous Rooted) 
(Plant January to April) 
Because the Ladies love these exquisite, camellia-like, 
giant waxy blooms in Corsages is probably responsible 
for the mistaken impression they are suited only to pot 
culture under glass. 
The fact is, they will produce the most glorious out¬ 
door garden display imaginable, so long as they are in a 
partially shaded spot, protected from wind, in light, 
loamy, rich soil. Start them in fiats of pure peat and 
transplant outdoors when growth is three or four inches. 
Double Camellia-flowered. Huge flowers, often 6 to 7 
inches across. Resemble giant double Camellias. 
American Beauty—(New) A thrilling, very deep crim¬ 
son-rose; Cardinal Red—(New) A very bright and 
striking red; Apricot, Orange, Pink, Rose, Salmon, 
White, Yellow, Scarlet. Tubers 20c each; 3 for 50c; 
6 for $1.00; 12 for $2.00. 
Double Frilled or Carnation-flowered. The edges of the 
petals are deeply serrated or cut, hence the name 
"Carnation-flowered”. A very beautiful type. 
Rose, Apricot, Salmon, Scarlet, Crimson, Yellow, 
White. Tubers 20c each; 3 for 50c; 6 for $1.00; 
12 for $2.00. 
Lloydii or Hanging-basket type. Pendulous or trail-type 
for pot and hanging basket-culture. Fluffy clusters 
of 3 and 4 flowers in great profusion, on long, trail¬ 
ing stems. New Lloydii—Combining the large flow¬ 
ers of the Camellia with the trailing habit of the 
Lloydii. A great advance. 
Orange, Salmon, Dark Red. Tubers 25c ea.; 3 for 65c; 
6 for $1.25; 12 for $2.50. 
BLEEDING HEART 
(Plant from September to March) 
Dielytra spectabilis—Graceful, heart-shaped, pink flow¬ 
ers ; one of the choicest memories of old-fashioned 
gardens. Especially valuable for planting in shady 
spots. Large clump 50c each; 12 for $5.50. 
CALLA LILIES 
(Plant November to February) 
Elliottiana—The large golden-yellow sort with white 
spotted, dark green foliage. Splendid for pot and 
garden culture. 25c each; 12 for $2.50.

chid-like flowers and broad, evergreen foliage now run

roon. Conspicuous orange beard. Late. Alcazar— 
Standards mauve; falls dark bronzy red purple. Yel¬ 
low beard. Fragrant. Asia—Beautiful silvery laven¬

light violet blue standards and red violet falls. Early.

Large and of excellent substance. Mme. Gaudichau— 
Fragrant dark, velvety bi-color. Standard of violet 
and blackish-purple falls. Nancy Orne—Large rose- 
purple suffused yellow. Pauline—Rich pansy violet, 
deep orange beard. Fragrant. Princess Victoria Louise

IRIS (Butterfly) 
(Plant July to November)

three and four feet. Blooms last 10 days after cut¬ 
ting. Pure Canary Yellow, 20c ea.; 3 for 50c. 
LILY OF THE VALLEY 
(Plant outdoors November to February) 
Essentially a shade loving plant. Give northern or 
northwestern exposure with rich, sandy loam. Slender 
stems of frosted, scented bells hiding among bright green 
leaves give refreshment for the mind and the spirit. Try 
the Potting or Forcing Pips in a pot of Bulb Fibre in¬ 
doors. They are extremely simple of culture outdoors. 
They multiply rather freely in a few years. Treat yourself 
to a bed of them. Always set so the tips of pips are above 
ground. Outdoor type 12 for 60c; 100 for $4.00; Potting 
and Forcing type 12 for $1.00; 100 for $8.00. 
PEONY 
(Plant September to February) 
Make a gorgeous display when planted in beds on the 
lawn or planted singly along a walk or herbaceous bor¬ 
der. The roots should be placed so that the crown is 
barely covered with soil. They require deep, rich soil, 
slightly alkaline. They must be watered copiously during 
dry intervals of winter and spring. Choice double flower¬ 
ing pure white, and rose pink, red, strong roots. 50c each, 
postpaid; 12 for $5.00, delivered free. 
TIGRIDIA (Tiger Flower) 
(Plant December to March) 
Mexican Shell Flower. One of the handsomest sum¬ 
mer flowering plants known. Lily-like, three-petalled 
blooms with tiger-spotted contrasting cup-shaped throat 
and three small overlapping petals colored and spotted 
the same as the throat. 
Individual blooms last a day, but each stem will 
produce two and three blooms in quick succession and 
a mature plant will throw as many as a hundred blos¬ 
soms during the months of July, August and September. 
Happy in full sun, in deep, well drained soil. Plant 
3 inches deep. If soil is heavy, place sand under bulbs. 
Red, Rose, Yellow shades—Separate colors or mixed 
as desired, 15c ea.; 3 for 40c; 12 for $1.50. White and 
improved Pink: 20c ea.; 3 for 50c; 12 for $2.00.
