CALADIUM, Fancy-Leaved 
Each 40c, Three $1.10, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
Fancy-leaved Caladiums are now being grown in large quantities and 
are available at a moderate price, so that they can at last be used 
as they should. By that we mean for garden planting. Nothing is 
simpler to grow and nothing gives as beautiful a mass of color as do 
the fancy-leaved Caladiums. Throughout the summer and fall their 
magnificent leaves create a wonderful effect, for cutting for table 
decoration they are unmatched. They create a stunning effect in vase 
or bowl, no matter how used. A group of a dozen or more planted 
in light shade or full sun is as colorful as a bed of Tulips. They are 
particularly valuable for growing in light shade when annuals would 
not do. Simply plant bulbs 4 inches deep and 6 inches apart in April 
or May, and it won’t be long before they are up unfolding their re- 
markable leaves. 
CALLA 
We call especial attention to the Yellow Calla, which is one of the 
grandest varieties in cultivation, and most valuable for house or con- 
servatory decoration. In April or May dormant bulbs may be planted 
near the pool in a sunny spot where they will flower beautifully in 
August or September. 
Elliottiana (Yellow Calla) Each 60c, Three $1.60, Doz. $5.75 
One that should be planted extensively. The deep golden yellow flowers 
are truly magnificent and produced in abundance. The green foliage is 
spotted white, which adds to its beauty; lovely house plant as well as 
garden subject. 
Ethel Roosevelt Each 60c, Three $1.60, Doz. $6.00 
This rare variety produces pale yellow flowers which are about one- 
fourth larger than those of Calla Elliottiana and it grows about 6 to 8 
inches taller. It is easily grown in the house but also makes a fine 
garden plant, blooming over a long period during the summer. The bulbs 
should be dug in the late fall and stored like Gladioli over the winter. 
They increase in size, producing a greater number of blooms from year 
to year. 
Rehmanni Each 45c, Three $1.25, Doz. $4.50 
The pink or rose Calla. A rather uncommon species, native of Natal. 
The flowers are small but pink and therefore most unusual. An uncom- 
mon plant for the greenhouse or outdoor culture. 
CHLIDANTHUS 
Fragrans Three 80c, Doz. $2.50, 100 $17.00 
A little known summer-flowering bulb which produces deliciously fra- 
grant brilliant yellow Amaryllis-like flowers in August. They multiply 
rapidly and respond to the same treatment as given Gladioli. The flower 
stems are about 10 to 12 inches tall and flowers last many days when 
cut. In the garden they make brilliant patches of color. Increase 
rapidly. 
EUCHARIS - Amazon Lily 
Grandiflora Each $1.70, Three $4.25, Doz. $15.00 
A rare bulb from the Amazon, producing deliciously scented, pure white, 
waxy flowers shaped not unlike the Daffodil. The foliage is handsome 
and evergreen, somewhat like that of the Funkia. May be grown in the 
garden in warm parts of the country. Does well in the cool greenhouse. 
Easily grown house plant. Give same care as Amaryllis. 
GLOXINIAS 
These brilliantly colored flowers are easily grown by anyone. In fact, 
we do not know of any other house plant which responds so quickly 
and easily to the simplest of care and treatment. Their gorgeous 
velvety flowers last for months and make a stunning effect between 
the soft handsome leaves. The bulbs may be planted from early Feb- 
ruary until late May to provide for a succession of flowers. Place one 
bulb in a@ 5-inch pot filled with good, rich, sandy loam. Cover bulb 
about one inch, watr sparingly. Place at once in warm, sunny window 
or conservatory. Growth is quite thick. After flowering save the bulbs 
to be used again another season because they can be used over and 
over for many years.

Eucharis Grandiflora 
GLORIOSA - Climbing Lily 
Superba Each $1.25, Three $3.25, Doz. $12.50 
A splendid low climber, easy to grow in the garden; it does well in 
sheltered spots out-of-doors. Grows 2 to 3 feet high, producing a dozen 
or more gorgeous Lily-like flowers which open a bright yellow and red 
but change to a deep scarlet. In bloom through the summer and au- 
tumn months. Most unusual and rare garden bulbs. Store tubers in 
winter like Gladioli; may be used season after season. 
HYACINTHUS CANDICANS - Cape Hyacinth 
Six bulbs $1.10, Doz. $2.00, 100 $12.50

gracefully surmounted with from 20 to 30 pure white, bell-shaped 
flowers. Culture same as for Gladioli. 
ISMENE CALATHINA GRANDIFLORA 
Each 60c, Three $1.70, Doz. $6.00
