EARLY SUMMER PLANTING 
BEGONIAS — Tuberous Rooted 
SCHEEPERS’ CALIFORNIA GIANTS. This special exclusive 
strain represents the very finest from California. All bulbs 
are selected in the field at flowering time and we therefore 
can guarantee their trueness to type and color. (Hundreds 
of letters were received last summer from our customers 
telling us that they have never seen such exquisite flowers 
and fine healthy plants.) Start some early indoors in 
March and prolong the flowering period. 
These colorful shade loving plants give a great abun- 
dance of flowers from the end of May until frost; not only 
do the beautiful flowers add charm to that sometimes neg- 
lected shady spot in the garden, the beautiful leaf forma- 
tions are most exquisite. Much credit must be given to the 
California hybridists who have created this special strain 
(do not confuse with the inferior imported strain) ; it 
required years of careful study during which time thou- 
sands of varieties and types were discarded to get this 
perfection. All of them are prize-winners and true to name. 
Start the bulbs indoors and hasten the flowering period. 
When danger of frost is past you may plant the already 
established bulbs in the garden, then enjoy the lovely 
blooms all summer long. Ideal cut flowers for vases or 
bowls — in the latter they may be used to float on the water 
for exquisite artistic arrangements. 
We offer: Double Camellia-Flowered type, Carnation- 
Flowered type, Hanging Basket type, and Single-Flowered 
types. All in the following colors: Blush-Pink, Red, Salmon, 
Yellow and White. 
Special introductory price: $6.50 for 10; $62.50 per 
100. JUMBO SIZE BULBS.

CAMELLIA BEGONIAS 
DICENTRA 
SPECTABILIS. (Bleeding Heart) The “Lyre Flower” or 
“Locks and Keys.” A charming hardy perennial plant of 
most interesting structure. The leaves are a fine shade of 
green and have much decorative value due to their un- 
usual pattern. Long racemes of graceful, heart-shaped pink 
flowers, inner petals which protrude are white. Excellent 
border plants as well as a wild garden addition where they 
lend beauty and charm. Extra heavy clumps, each $1.00; 
$9.00 for 10. 
GALTONIA 
CANDICANS. (Hyacinthus Candicans) The Great Snow 
White Summer Flowering Hyacinth. This Cape Hyacinth 
is a valuable summer-flowering bulb with long, slender 
leaves and a candelabra-like arrangement of thirty or so 
pure white, bell-shaped blossoms borne on a scape from 
3 to 4 feet tall. Distributed about the borders in groups or 
massed against shrubbery, they are very effective, giving 
lines of definition and strength to the riotous growth of 
summer flowers. Planted with Gladioli they form an im- 
posing contrast and last a long time in bloom. In every 
way they may be treated like Gladioli, but south of Phila- 
delphia the bulbs may be left out-of-doors over the winter 
with a light covering and will increase and give better 
results every year. Extra selected bulbs, $2.75 for 10; 
$25.00 per 100. 
GLORIOSA 
ROTHSCHILDIANA. Climbing Lily. These odd and hand- 
some plants originally came from Africa. Flowers are 
lily-like with sharply reflexing petals that meet at the back 
of the bloom. Golden yellow with the edges of the petals 
sharply marked scarlet-red, the scarlet markings become 
more prominent as the flower ages. Grows 3 feet high and 
produces 15 or more of its lovely blossoms during the 
summer and fall. Plant near a trellis or pillar for finest 
effect. Can be grown in pots guided on wires shaped like 
a ball or trellis where all its beauty can be enjoyed as a 
porch decoration. Likes full sun, easy to grow. Extra se- 
lected, large tubers, $1.65 each; $15.50 for 10.
