BULBS AND PLANTS 
The many interesting kinds for spring plant¬ 
ing that are offered in this folder, may be divided 
into two classes. First come those that are rea¬ 
sonably winter-hardy in the open ground, need¬ 
ing little special care. Then in the second class 
come certain bulbs, such as Gladiolus, that, in 
the north at least, should be dug in late autumn 
and carried over winter in cellar or other frost¬ 
proof storage. When autumn digging and stor¬ 
age is required, this fact is always indicated in 
the description. If no mention of such require¬ 
ment is made, it is to be assumed that the va¬ 
riety or species may be safely left outside in the 
winter. Of course we do not guarantee plants 
against winter-damage, for there are always ex¬ 
ceptional seasons and conditions, and in any case 
we have no control over your methods of han¬ 
dling, or over the weather. 
Bulbs and plants are not prepaid. If you want 
them to come by mail, add 5% to your remit¬ 
tance for points east of Pittsburgh and north of 
the Potomac, 10% to the Mississippi, and 15% 
west of that river. This is to cover both postage 
and cost of mail packing. We shall assume that 
shipment by collect express is desired, if no al¬ 
lowance for postage and packing accompanies 
the order. We guarantee safe arrival, and free¬ 
dom from freezing in transit, when shipping date 
is left to our option. 
GIANT SUMMER HYACINTH—Great spires of 
creamy, pendant bells in summer and autumn. 
Most striking, growing to four or five feet. Quick 
easy, showy. Hardy at Philadelphia, but much 
further north, better dig and store, Gladiolus 
fashion. 3 for 25c; 10 for 75c. 
THE GOLDEN CALLA LILY—This is Zante- 
deschia Elliottiana, with flower-spathes of bril¬ 
liant and shining yellow, thick and wax-like. Will 
bloom freely in the garden, and the tuberous roots 
may be dug and stored in sand over winter, like 
Montbretia. Each 35c; 3 for $1.00. 
THE SPOTTED CALLA LILY—It is the leaf, 
not the flower, that shows the translucent white 
mottling on its arrow-head greenness. The flow- 
er-spathe is rich cream, but the deep throat is 
velvety crimson. Excellent in garden. 30c each. 
AMARYLLIS FORMOSISSIMA—Although it is 
very good for late forcing, this is, above all, a 
garden Amaryllis. Just plant out the bulbs in 
spring as you would Gladioli. Almost at once 
they will send up their immense, fantastically 
shaped flowers, richest crimson with golden glints. 
They are excellent for cutting, or just for garden 
decoration as they grow. Dig in late autumn, 
and store in cellar until spring. Each 15c; 8 for 
$ 1 . 00 . 
AMARYLLIS JOHNSONI — Large and open 
flower trumpets of a pleasing red, each petal 
segment bearing a broad white stripe. An es¬ 
pecially easy and robust Amaryllis, that blooms 
with greatest freedom and expedition. Each 35c; 
3 for $1.00. 
AMARYLLIS EQUESTRE — Blossoms of most 
beautiful and glowing salmon orange. May be 
handled in garden, Gladiolus fashion, or as a pot 
bulb. Unfortunately a bit shy in blooming, but 
lovely enough when it does flower, to compensate 
for delay. Size “B,” 3 for 40c; 9 for $1.00.
