Summer-Flowering Bulbs 
Begonia, Tuberous*Rooted 
For bedding and as pot-plants, these beautiful 
flowers are very desirable and popular. They 
bloom continuously all summer; flowers are very 
large, outrivaling those of the most brilliant 
geraniums. The flowers are circular, large, and 
of great substance; the colors are most beautiful, 
rich, and varied. Large bulbs, 2 inches in diam¬ 
eter and up. 
To obtain the best results with these bulbs, 
they should be started indoors about the middle 
of February, and should not be planted outdoors 
until all danger from frost has passed.

Gladiolus 
Of summer-blooming plants for general garden 
decoration, the Gladiolus are deserving of special 
attention. Requiring but little room for growth, 
they are exceedingly useful for planting among 
shrubbery in the border, while for massing in 
large beds, where a brilliant and effective display 
is desired, they are invaluable. They succeed 
best in good loam, enriched with well-rotted 
manure. Bulbs should be planted about 3 inches 
deep and 6 inches apart. All our Gladiolus are 
No. 1 top-sized bulbs and will produce fine, 
healthy blooms.
