hardy bulbs. North of Philadelphia they should 
be dug and treated much in the same manner as 
Gladioli. Exquisitely formed flowers in unusual 
bronzy colorings class Montbretias as one of the 
most satisfactory of all cut flowers.

RIES 

Hardy Water Lilies can be sent any time from May 1st until the end of August, but tender Lilies not 
before June. Order early. 
A simple way to plant Water Lilies is on rich soil in boxes 2 feet square and 1 foot deep. Cow manure 
is the best fertilizer, but commercial fertilizers can be used. Place one Water Lily root in each box, cover 
the crown of the plant, then cover with an inch of sand or gravel, to prevent discoloration of the water, 
and sink the boxes in the pond. 
Flo wer Bulbs 
ISMENE CALATHINA 
(Peruvian Daffodil)

subject is too little known and too little 
appreciated. We firmly believe that it is 
the most satisfactory summer-flowering 
bulbous plant that we have to offer. Large, 
chaste white blossoms of exquisite fra- 
grance. Blooms 6 weeks after planting. 
The flowers resemble clusters of pure white 
Amaryllis. Large jumbo bulbs of unequalled 
quality. $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100.
