Summer Flowering Bulbs 
AMARYLLIS 
Ebeling’s Giant American Hybrids 
A wonderful strain of new Giant 
flowered Amaryllis, of free-flowering 
habit. The large flowers are composed 
of broad, well rounded, overlapping 
petals and range in colors varying 
from crimson to orange-scarlet, light 
rose to white to the richest self-col¬ 
orings and combinations of stripes 
and variegations. 50c each. 
Tuberous-rooted Begonias 
This is an interesting section, valu¬ 
able as pot plants and for garden 
beds. The flowers vary considerably 
as to form and size, ranging from 2 
to 4 and even 6 inches across. While 
some of the single ones are perfectly 
smooth, others are fluted or distinctly 
fringed. The colors are delightfully 
vivid and distinct. 
When grown outside, should be 
taken up before cold weather, spread 
out to dry, and be packed away in 
boxes of dry sand, and stored through 
the winter in some cool place, yet 
not where frost can reach them. Be¬ 
fore planting outside in the spring, 
they should be potted and kept inside until well started. They delight in a partially 
shaded location in soils composed of leaf mold, sand and well rotted manure.
