STERNBERGIA LUTEA. A most charming rock-garden

the autumn-flowering Crocus as they flower at the same 
time and offer very fine color contrasts. The flowers 
closely resemble a Crocus of a bright yellow. We will

Lilizs-of- the- Valley 
N O dweller in the country should be without a generous bed of Lilies-of-the-Valley. In high and in lowly gardens 
these simple, fragrant flowers have ever been among the most welcomed of the year. In early times the dried- 
off, distilled blossoms were deemed a cure for many “griefs” of the flesh, and while our faith in their potency may 
be less firm today, surely it is true that when we come unexpectedly upon the slender stems of frosted, scented bells 
hiding among the bright green leaves we receive refreshment for the mind and the spirit. 
commence flowering about 3 weeks after being planted. 
$1.75 for 10; $15.00 per 100.

The Lily-of-the-Valley is essentially a shade-loving plant. Beds should be given a northern or northwestern ex- 
posure if possible, and the most desirable soil is a rich, sandy loam. In planting, the clumps should be set about 
3 inches apart and about 2 inches below the surface. A dressing of well-rotted manure and leaf mold in the autumn 
after the leaves have died down will insure more and finer flowers in the spring. The roots of this fair flower are 
poisonous. 5 
LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY CLUMPS. Their importation having been restricted, they are very scarce. Extra-heavy 
clumps for immediate effect. $8.00 for 10; $38.00 for 50; $75.00 per 100. 
Schespers "Bulb ‘food 
for Tulips, Narcissi, Irises, Lilies, Gladioli, Montbretia, and all other bulbous plants 
We have been asked by many friends to tell them what sort of plant food we use in growing our choice bulbs. We 
told them we had a special formula that gave health and long life to these plants. A few prevailed upon us to make 
up a quantity and let them try it in their own gardens. 
The extraordinary success that these gardeners met with and the enthusiasm resulting from it, have encouraged 
us to offer all our friends and patrons a chance to use the very same plant food in their attempt at getting healthy, 
luxuriant flowers with strong stems and exquisite colorings. 
And so we present this opportunity for you to order some SCHEEPERS’ BULB FOOD and we recommend that 
you try it with your next planting. It is almost entirely composed of organic matter and may be used with absolute 
safety in connection with the planting of bulbs at any time, in any soil or with any other plants. It is also economical! 
—as a teaspoonful for each bulb is the average requirement. 
Take advantage of this offer. You will find it a very happy investment. 
FEED THE GROWING PLANTS IN YOUR GARDEN WITH SCHEEPERS’ BULB FOOD
