FOR SPRING AND EARLY SUMMER PLANTING AND SUMMER AND FALL FLOWERING 
How the universal heart of man blesses flowers. They are 
wreathed around the cradle, the marriage altar and the tomb.

flowering time. They can be supplied in sep¬ 
arate colors or mixed and are well adapted for 
either pot culture or bedding. For complete list 
of varieties and types, please consult special 
Forcing Edition of "Beauty from Bulbs”. 
SINGLE BEGONIAS (Superb Selected): Colors, 
white, pink, rose, scarlet, yellow, orange and 
salmon. Extra selected tubers, $3.25 for 10; $30 
per 100.

CALLA 
ELLIOTTIANA (The Golden Yellow Calla): Very 
fine for use in pool plantings or for cutflower 
purposes. Extra large bulbs, 3 inches and over. 
$7.50 for 10; $68 per 100. 
CHLIDANTHUS 
FRAGRANS: Sometimes called "The Delicate 
Lily." The name undoubtedly refers to the clear, 
rich yellow flowers, which resemble a miniature 
Amaryllis. Very fragrant. Take up bulbs in fall 
and store in a root cellar. They are hardy south 
of Philadelphia. $2.25 for 10; $20 per 100. 
GALTONIA CANDICANS 
(Hyacinthus candicans) 
The Cape Hyacinth is a valuable summer¬ 
flowering bulb with long, slender leaves and a 
candelabra-like arrangement of thirty or so 
pure white, bell-shaped blossoms borne on a 
scape from 3 to 4 feet tall. Distributed about 
the borders in groups or massed against shrub¬ 
bery, they are very effective, giving lines of 
definition and strength to the riotous growth of 
summer flowers. Planted with Gladioli they 
form an imposing contrast and last a long time 
in bloom. 
In every way they may be treated like 
Gladioli, but south of Philadelphia the bulbs 
may be left out of doors over the winter with a 
light covering and will increase and give better 
results every year. Extra selected bulbs, $1.05 
for 10; $8 per 100. 
ISMENE CALATHINA 
(Peruvian Daffodil) 
One of the best of our summer-flowering 
bulbs, bearing clusters of large, fragrant lily- 
white flowers resembling an Amaryllis. Extra 
selected bulbs, $2.25 for 10; $20 per 100. 
LYCORIS SQUAMIGERA 
(Amaryllis Hallii) 
A perfectly hardy bulb of the Amaryllis fam¬ 
ily. They produce attractive green foliage in 
the early spring, which later dies away. About 
a month later the flower stalks appear, grow¬ 
ing about 2 feet high and developing an umbel 
of large, lily-shaped, delicate mauve-pink flow¬ 
ers. Extra selected bulbs, $9 for 10; $85 per 100. 
SCHEOSTYUS 
(The New Pink Kaffir "Lily") 
MRS. HEGARTY: Award of Merit. This startling 
novelty created great interest. The flowers are 
of a clear pink, with no suspicion of magenta, 
but are of the pure, fresh color of the flowers of 
Begonia Gloire de Lorraine. It is unmistakably 
one of the most beautiful and hardy flowers in 
autumn. The variety is strong growing and free- 
flowering and it continues to send up spikes 
bearing well-expanded flowers until the arrival 
of frost. Flowering in late autumn it is particu¬ 
larly useful to brighten up the border and tones 
with the fall foliage tints. Extra strong plants, 
$8 for 10; $75 per 100.
