Sprekelia Formosissima 
CALADIUM, Fancy-Leaved 
Each 40c, Three $1.10, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
Fancy-leaved Caladiums are now being grown in large quantities and 
are available at a moderate price, so that they can at last be used 
as they should. By that we mean for garden planting. Nothing is 
simpler to grow and nothing gives as beautiful a mass of color as do 
the fancy-leaved Caladiums. Throughout the summer and fall their 
magnficient leaves create a wonderful effect, for cutting for table 
decoration they are unmatched. They create a stunning effect in vase 
or bowl, no matter how used. A group of a dozen or more planted 
in light shade or full sun is as colorful as a bed of Tulips. They are 
particularly valuable for growing in light shade when annuals would 
not do. Simply plant bulbs 4 inches deep and 6 inches apart in April 
or May, and it won’t be long before they are up unfolding their re- 
markable leaves. 
CHLIDANTHUS 
Fragrans Three 80c, Doz. $2.50, 100 $17.00 
A little known summer-flowering bulb which produces deliciously pcs 
grant brilliant yellow Amaryllis-like flowers in August. They multiply 
rapidly and respond to the same treatment as given Gladioli. The flower 
stems are about 10 to 12 inches tall and flowers last many days when 
cut. In the garden they make brilliant patches of color. Increase 
rapidly.

CALLA 
We call especial attention to the Yellow Calla, which is one of the 
grandest varieties in cultivation, and most valuable for house or con- 
servatory decoration. In April or May dormant bulbs may be planted 
near the pool in a sunny spot where they will flower beautifully in 
August or September. 
Elliottiana (Yellow Calla) Each 60c, Three $1.60, Doz. $5.75

purplish black throat blotch. The handsome yellow flowers are larger 
than those of the Calla Elliottiana. The plant is also taller and the 
spotted foliage even more decorative. Does particularly well outside, 
making a fine show in the garden and is a superb pot plant, easily 
grown in the house.

tumn months. Most unusual and rare garden bulbs. Store tubers in 
winter like Gladioli; may be used season after season. 
GLOXINIAS 
These brilliantly colored flowers are easily grown by anyone. In fact, 
we do not know of any other house plant which responds so quickly 
and easily to the simplest of care and treatment. Their gorgeous 
velvety flowers last for months and make a stunning effect between 
the soft handsome leaves. The bulbs may be planted from early Feb- 
ruary until late May to provide for a succession of flowers.. Place one 
bulb in a 5-inch pot filled with good, rich, sandy loam. Cover bulb about 
one inch, water sparingly. Place at once in warm, sunny window or 
conservatory, Growth is quite quick. After flowering save the bulbs to 
be used again another season because they can be used over and over 
for many years.
