Bulb Flowers—the Garden's Delight 
Ask, write or telephone us about your 
favorite bulb flowers. We have the latest 
new and most popular varieties, In many 
colors. For exhibition, garden or cut-flower 
use, bulb flowers are the easiest and most 
satisfactory to grow. 
Fall planted bulbs for spring flowering: 
Daffodils and other Narcissus classes, Tulips, 
Hyacinths, Dutch and Spanish Iris, Lilies, 
Crocus, Anemones, Ranunculus, Scillas and 
others are offered in the fall, fresh and ready 
to plant. Complete lists of varieties, des- 
scriptions and prices, are gladly given or 
sent at your request, and are available in 
advance of planting time. Conditions don’t 
allow complete variety lists now but we will 
have top-size, disease-free bulbs of available 
kinds at most reasonable prices. 
Spring planted bulbs include the most 
colorful and useful garden plants. Many 
bloom over long periods and are adapted to 
pot and garden culture. They grow and 
bloom almost by setting them in the ground, 
rewarding us with exhtbition blooms when 
given a little care Children grow Gladiolus 
and Iris successfully, and yet fanciers study 
and work in bringing them to flowering 
perfection. Everybody can grow bulb 
flowers and every home needs them. We 
have the best, so take your choice. 

Besides the spring-planting bulb flowers 
illustrated on Page 13, there are several 
other types of Dahlias, Amaryllis In gor- 
geous colors and really monstrous size, 
different types of Iris, and we mustn’t forget 
the striking new Hemerocallis or Day Lilies. 
Plant varieties of Day Lilies to bloom from 
May until fall. Like Garden Iris, they are 
perfectly hardy, spread naturally or may be 
divided, and last for years. While Day 
Lilies are not bothered by insects or disease, 
it pays to treat most bulbs with Semesan. 
Keep acan on hand for treating seeds and bulbs 
at planting time. See Pages 30 and 31 for Rem- 
edies and Plant Foods, Page 29 for Sprayers.

BUSH SNAP BEANS 
In the South particularly, Snapbeans are 
the mainstay of the garden. They are prolific, 
easiest to grow and are welcome on the table 
as a real, body-building food almost every 
day. Eat fresh, can and quick-freeze. 
Culture—Plant Beans in this section from 
March to September. Add a row every 3 
weeks for a continuous supply all season. 
Sow in rows 11% to 2 feet apart, dropping 
seed 3 or 4 inches apart and cover 2 inches, 
when soil is warm and moist. Cultivate 
shallowly and often until blossoms appear, 
then stop. Keep beans picked as they ripen, 
to prolong bearing. Pound plants 50 feet of 
row of bush beans, or 100 feet of pole beans. 
Treating seed with Nitragin helps growth 
and production—Garden Size 10c.
