Flowering Bulbs and Roots 
_CALL AS (Rtchardia^ __ 
The variety offered below succeeds best 
when treated in the same manner as gladiolus. 
Plant in the open border when danger from 
frost is over, and Callas will flower during 
the summer. When the tops are killed by 
frost, dig and store 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 winter¬ 
flowering variety, and of a rich, lustrous 
golden yellow of velvety texture; the foli¬ 
age is dark green, with a number of trans¬ 
lucent creamy white spots, which add much 
to its beauty. Strong bulbs, 35 cts. each, 
$3 for 10, $25 per 100. 
CINNAMON VINE 
Dioscorea Batatas 
_A beautiful, rapid-growing summer climber, 
with bright green, glossy foliage, and spikes 
of deliciously cinnamon-scented, white flow¬ 
ers. It is perfectly hardy, the stem dying 
down in winter, but growing with great 
rapidity in the spring, so as to cover any 
trellis or arbor very early in the season. 
Selected roots, 15 cts. each, $1.25 for 10, 
$9 per 100. 
_ GLOXINIA _ 
This is, perhaps, one of the handsomest 
of summer-blooming, tuberous-rooted plants 
and should be grown more by the amateur 
than it has been. As a pot-plant for the 
window-garden it is excellent. The main points 
to observe are: proper care in watering, good 
drainage, and properly mixed soil. The cul¬ 
tural directions given for begonias mi^ht 
also be followed for starting and growing 
Gloxinias. One bulb is usually used for a 
4-inch pot. 
We offer 7 distinct colors, as well as a 
mixture of colors, at 40 cts. each, $3.50 for 
10, $30 per 100.

TIG Rl PI A (Mexican Shellflower') | 
This grows well in the open ground in J 
summer as far north as New England and \ 
gives a continuous display of gorgeous color ; 
from midsummer to frost. A writer in the 
Ladies Home Journal has this to say about it: j 
“This brilliant silken triangle unfolds from its i 
long slender bud and bursts into sharply contrasting 
tints of fire, leaping from bright yellow to molten 
orange and vivid scarlets, and is eagerly sought as i 
a rare but sturdy garden novelty.” ' 
Culture. —Give the bulbs the same treat- ^ 
ment as gladiolus; that is, plant them 4 inches 1 
deep and at least 6 inches apart, any time after 1 
May 15. The plant thrives in a sunny situa- j 
tion but needs an abundance of water. 
Our improved strain is a mixture including 
a wide range of colors—white with spotted 
cup, white with rose sheen, rose, yellow with 
suffusion of red, yellow with spotted cup, and 
brilliant scarlet. 10 bulbs $1, 25 bulbs $2, 
100 bulbs $7.50.
