BULB 
In planning a season-long garden, the summer-flowering bulbs 
are too often overlooked. They are useful in a number of ways— 
for supplying color in midsummer when many perennials are out 
of bloom, for filling gaps in the border and for furnishing flowers for 
cutting. All are of easy culture, and many of them may also be 
grown indoors. 
Tuberous-rooted Begonias are currently very popular again, 
as gardeners discover their striking beauty. When their basic 
needs are supplied, they pay for themselves many times over. Both 
these and Gloxinias do well in pots, as well as in shaded garden 
beds. Tuberoses and Peruvian Daffodils are valued especially for 
their fragrance. Tigridias deserve to be better known, for their 
rich crimson, yellow and orange blooms are exotic accents in a 
shrub or perennial border. 
TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS 
Graceful, free-flowering plants suitable for bedding or pot culture. They make 
strong, fleshy stems a foot or more high with big, very beautiful leaves, crowned by 
flowers of enormous size and almost unbelievable brilliance. Blooms 4% to 5 inches 
across are not unusual. Bulbs are hollowed on one side, and in planting, the hollowed 
side must be up. They do best in shady or semi-shady places. Bulbs should be started 
in pots or pans indoors in February or March and transplanted to the garden about the 
time that corn is growing well. They may also be started outdoors at the same time.

scarlet, pink, or yellow. 
Camellia-flowered, Double. Double flowers resembling a fine camellia. In sepa- 
rate colors, red, rose, white, or orange.
