Selected Summer Fo werlig Bulbs 
Gloxinia 
GLOXINIAS 
Possibly the most reliable summer flow- 
ering house plant. Not particularly ad- 
visable for garden planting, Gloxinias 
however, are a splendid flowering plant 
for the home and porch during the entire 
summer. They can be started at any time 
from mid-February until May. Soil should 
be light and rich, and watering should be 
done preferably by placing the pot in a 
container full of water, or keeping it in 
a saucer in which the water level is main- 
tained. See page 56 for complete listing 
of colors and price.

For

TUBEROUS ROOTED 
BEGONIAS 
The splendid color and form 
of these beautiful shade loving 
plants has increased their popu- 
larity in the past few years 
greatly. We have never been 
able to keep sufficient bulbs on 
hand for the demand. For com- 
plete color range, types and 
prices, see page 55. 





Tigridia 
TIGRIDIAS 
Also known as Mexican 
Day Lily or Mexican Shell 
Flower, provide one of the 
best sources of midsum- 
mer color in the perennial 
border. The bulbs can 
easily be inserted in the 
thickest border and their 
mid to late summer color 
is a flare of beauty. For 
complete listing of colors 
and prices see page 56.
