FLOWERING BULBS AND ROOTS 
Bulbs for Spring Planting 
Bulbs are of easiest culture, inexpensive and re¬ 
quire but little care. They are almost certain to 
grow. Put them in the ground out of doors in 
April and May. Some will bloom in June, and all 
during the same year as planted. 
AMARYLLIS. 
There are many species of Amaryllis, all produc¬ 
ing large, droojiing, lily-like tlowers, varying in 
color from richest crimson and scarlet to pure white 
and striped witli crimson or scarlet. Some of the 
flowers measure from G to 9 inches across. 
All of the varieties here listed are of the easiest 
culture. They require abundant moisture when 
growing, but at their season of rest water should 
be given sparingly. Winter the bulbs in house or 
cellar. If in pots, do not remove from soil. 
Giant Vittata Colors range from pure 
white ground with markings of rose, red, and 
crimson, to the richest self-colors in scarlet, crim¬ 
son, bright red, cherry, and maroon. They make 
very satisfactory pot plants. Extra large bulbs. 
Enoli, 60c. 
Johusouii. Scarlet with white stripe. Each, 50c. 
Eqiiestre. Orange scarlet. Each, 25c. 
SPOTTED LEAVED CALL.L LILIES. 
The varieties offered below succeed best when 
treated in the same manner as Gladiolus, Tuberoses 
and other summer-flowering bulbs. They should be 
I)lanted in the open border in a dormant condition 
when danger from frost is over in spring, and will 
then flower during the summer months. In the 
autumn dig and store through the winter as you 
would potatoes. 
Golden Yellow (Richardia Elliottiana). This is 
the best of the Yellow Callas, its flowers being as 
large as the popular white variety, but of a rich 
lustrous golden-yellow of velvety texture; the 
foliage is dark green, with translucent creamy- 
white spots, which adds much to its beauty. Strong 
bulbs. Each 40c. 
ISMEAB CAL.VTHIN.l (Peruvian Daffodil). 
A grand summer-flowering bulb, producing with 
great freedom large Amaryllis-like, pure white, 
fragrant blossoms. Keep the bulbs in a dry, warm 
place, and plant out in June. Bulbs can be taken 
lip in October and after a few weeks’ rest, potted 
and flowered in the house in the winter, or kept 
over for planting out another season. Each 20c, 3 
for 50c. 
CllVlV.VMON VI.\E OR CHINESE YAM. 
A climbing plant which in some portions of the 
country lives over winter out of doors. It grows 
rapidly, soon covering a large space with its heart- 
shaped, glossy green foliage. Flowers, white, with 
the fragrance of cinnamon. Medium size, 10c each, 
3 for 25c; Extra size, 15c each, 2 for 25c. 
CALIDIUM (Elephant’s Ears). 
A vigorous grow¬ 
ing plant which has 
tremendously large, 
pendulous leaves 
iDorne on long stiff 
stems. In rich soil, 
with an abundance 
of moisture, assume 
very large growth 
and is most effect¬ 
ive either singly on 
lawns or planted in 
centers of beds or 
as backgrounds for 
other blooming 
plants.

HY.YCINTHUS CANDICANS. 
Grows three to four feet high. Bears pure white 
bell-shaped flowers on long stems. Can be used to 
good effect among Gladiolus, as it comes into 
bloom about the same time and makes a pleasing 
contrast. Each 15c, 2 for 25c, 
on spikes above broad leaves of green or bronze 
in tropical effect, makes them one of the most 
admired summer flowering plants of today. The 
dry roots can be planted about the first of May or 
as soon as the ground is warm.
