flowering Bulbs.’’ Very desirable for the gar- 
den, needing little attention and thriving in

intervals so that a succession of bloom will 
be had through the Summer months. The 
most popular and outstanding varieties in a 
wide range of color are included in our selec- 
tion. We offer selected, disease-free A-1 
stock of the better varieties.
