EARLY SUMMER PLANTING 
BESSERA 
ELEGANS. ( Mexican Coral Drops) Beautiful bell-shaped 
flowers, orange-red outside, creamy white with orange 
stripe inside and with most attractive blue stamens. The 
flowers hang in umbels from the tip of a graceful wiry 
stem 18 to 24 inches tall. Flowers are produced continu- 
ously from July to September. Fine for the garden and 
very decorative as a cut flower. $1.75 for 10; $15.00 per

CALLA LILIES 
ELLIOTTIANA. (The Golden Yellow Calla) Very fine 
for use in pool plantings or for cut flower purposes. Extra 
large bulbs, $7.75 for 10; $75.00 per 100. 
REHMANNI SUPERBA. (The Pink Calla) A dwarf 
Calla, flowers open originally a rose-pink, but fade with 
age to cerise. Extra large bulbs, $9.50 for 10; $92.50 
per 100. 
CHLIDANTHUS 
FRAGRANS. Sometimes called “The Delicate Lily.”” The 
name undoubtedly refers to the clear, rich yellow flowers, 
which resemble a miniature Amaryllis. Very fragrant. 
Take up bulbs in fall and store in a root cellar. They are 
hardy south of Philadelphia. $2.25 for 10; $20.00 per 
100. 
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. Ex- 
cellent border plants as well as a wild garden addition 
where they lend beauty and charm. Extra heavy clumps, 
each $1.00; $9.00 for LO. 
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, giv- 
ing lines of definition and strength to the riotous growth 
of summer flowers. Planted with Gladioli they form an 
imposing 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.
