ALL Summer 
Some one has called the Gladiolus 
“the most satisfactory all round 
summer flower” and we are in¬ 
clined to agree. Easily grown 
in any soil, they simply can not 
help (rut bloom. The cut stalks 
last for a week or more. By 
planting repeatedly, a week a- 
part, throughout June and July, 
a constant supply of lovely flow 
ers may easily be had, at small ex¬ 
pense. Those not satisfied with 
mixtures offered ordinarily will be 
delighted with

A Timely 
DAFFODIL 
Suggestion 
Make a Permanent Planting 
before importation is shut off. 
Owing to a ruling of the Federal 
Horticultural Board, effective 1925, the 
finer varieties of Daffodils will soon be¬ 
come very scarce and expensive. Now is the 
time to make sure of having them in your 
garden for years to come. 
E LLIOTT’S SUGGEST a selection of Daffodils ideally suited 
for naturalizing in locations where they need absolutely no 
care after planting. Bulbs of the right size—varieties chosen for 
beauty and hardiness—once planted they need never be renewed 
but will increase in numbers and beauty year after year. It is the 
easiest and most economical way of growing flowers by the hundreds 
and thousands.

sus. Pure white, star-shaped flowers, with
