ASPARAGUS 
CONOVER’S COLOSSAL. A remarkably 
strong growing and very valuable variety. 
It has such vigor that it gives shoots large 
enough for cutting in one year from plant¬ 
ing, if planted in good soil and well cul¬ 
tivated. The shoots are of a decidedly pur¬ 
ple color and are produced in great num¬ 
bers over a season of 2 to 3 months. Valu¬ 
able for market as well as table. 
MARTHA WASHINGTON. A new rust- 
resistant asparagus. This new pedigreed 
rust-resistant variety was bred up by the 
U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry co-operat¬ 
ing with the Massachusetts Agricultural 
Station covering a period of 14 years. Stalks 
extra large in size, purple color, very ten¬ 
der, crisp, and extra fine flavored. Grows 
fast and thick, making it the most pro¬ 
ductive variety in existence. The heads 
stay very compact, solid and always bring 
a premium over any other variety.

Bulbs 
CANNAS 
One of the most popular of bedding 
plants with their green and bronze foliage 
and bright flowers; we grow six of the 
best varieties. Bach, 10c; per dozen, 90c, 
postpaid. 
KING HUMBERT. 4 to 5 feet. Giant 
flowered, orange scarlet, bronze leaf. The 
flowers are very large and very free bloom¬ 
ing. The handsome leathery foliage is of 
strong habit. 
YELLOW KING HUMBERT. Same as 
above except that the flowers are yellow. 
PRAIRIE GOLD. A very fine variety;

THE PRESIDENT. The most sensation¬ 
al introduction of recent years. The larg¬ 
est flowered, most vigorous-growing red 
Canna. The immense trusses of giant flor¬ 
ets are produced in great profusion. Green 
foliage. This variety introduced only a 
few years ago, has proved itself worthy of 
a place in every collection and every place 
where bold, effective performance can be 
appreciated; 5 feet. 
CONRAD. Fine pink, green foliage. 
Mixed Cannas—By express, dozen, 60c; 
100, $4.00. 
Mailing price, dozen, 75 cents. 
GLADIOLUS 
One of the most attractive summer flow¬ 
ering bulbs. Very ornamental for the 
lawn. To obtain a succession of bloom 
there should be several plantings made at 
intervals of about a week. Set bulbs 6 
to 9 inches apart and about 4 inches deep. 
If the soil is poor see that it is carefully 
enriched. The flowers are excellent for 
cutting, and last a week in water, the 
bulbs opening well. The bulbs should be 
taken up in the fall before heavy freezing 
weather sets in and allowed to dry off in 
the sun. Cut off the stem close to the 
bulb, put in paper bags, and place where 
they will not freeze. A cold, dry atmos¬ 
phere is best. We have a fine collection 
of the large flowering sorts. 
Good Bulbs—10 for 25c; 100, $2.00. Par¬ 
cel Post, 10 for 30c; 100, $2.25.
