Grow Autumn-Hlowering Wulbs 
For Perennial Beauty 
Four hardy and invaluable members of the bulb 
kingdom yield colorful blooms from September through 
the last days of fall. They are Autumn Crocuses, Col- 
chicums, Sternbergias and Hardy Cyclamens. Plant 
them as you would early spring bulbs in permanent col- 
onies or drifts in the sunny rock garden, in the informal 
border, or along a slope, and let them naturalize. They 
not only come back, but increase vigorously from year 
to year. Shipped and planted in August they flower 
during the succeeding months. They like plenty of late 
fall and early spring sunshine.

Gladioli 
So invaluable are gladioli for the summer garden 
that if no other flowers were grown except successive 
plantings of gladioli you would still have a long sum- 
mer season of colorful garden bloom, as well as a 
reservoir of beautiful cut flowers. They may be grown 
among perennials and annuals or in beds by them- 
selves. 
The following selected list includes the better recent 
introductions as well as the best of the older varieties. 
All bulbs are top-sized and high-crowned. Shipment 
is made in April and early May, and bulbs planted then 
are least troubled by thrips. However, bi-weekly plant- 
ings for successive blooms may be made up to July 1. 
All shipments are accompanied by cultural directions.
