GLOXINKA BULBS, 
Our stock of these is very choice. The bulbs should be i)otted 
in the spring in light sandy loam, and they will commence growing 
and blooming at once. In the fall, dry them and store in a warm 
place tlirough winter. Strong flowering bulbs, mi.xed colors, per 
i)uli). 15 cts.; $1.75 per doz. 
QLADfOLL To keep up a continuous bloom from June until frost, 
plantings should be made every two weeks. Plant si.\ inches apart 
in rows, four inches deep. After frost lift and cut off near the bulb, 
and store in any dry place where the frost will not reach them. 
The increasing demand for these beautiful fall blooming 
plants has stimulated groweis to produce improvement in 
size, form and colors. We offer the following named sorts 
which embrace some of the old standard varieties as well as 
the newer approved kinds. Planting should not be made 
until danger of frost is past in May. The bulbs should be 
lifted as soon as foliage is injured by first frost in fall, dried, 
packed in sand and stored during winter in a warm place.
