rare and exotic bulbs 
The spring flowering bulbs enjoy rightly a very great popularity but 
the fact is still very little known, that you can have bulbous flowers in 
your Garden right through the Summer and Fall, until the moment frost 
sets in, in the the colder sections, and through a long Indian Summer in 
the warmer climes. 
A careful perusal of the present list will show that after the removal 
of your tulips and hyacinths you can fill your beds (and at no very 
exorbitant price) with bulbous plants which will give you a galaxy of 
beauty during a period of four months. 
As several of the items listed are little known we have made the 
descriptions as detailed as space permits, with short cultural directions 
for every group. 
The stock of several items is very scarce, and while we shall appre- 
ciate to have your orders for such articles as Ismene and Cypella, we 
sollicit your order for other bulbs along with them. 
Achimenes 
This is a charming subject to grow in pots in the house or in the 
open where partial shade and plenty of moisture can be provided. They 
are very pretty little trailing plants with tubular flowers, so flared open 
at the end that they look like pansies growing on a small bush. Their 
cultural requirements are the same as for the Begonias to which we beg 
to refer.
