IDA — C. Faw Highlights. for. tho. Summon Garden 
The summer-flowering bulbs—Glads, Tuberous Begonias—are among the easiest- 
to-grow summer flowers. No wonder they are so popular. And what little effort you 
expend in planting them, they repay a thousandfold with a wealth of colors from 
the delicate to the most brilliant. 
DAHLIAS 
One of the most popular summer 
flowering bulbs. But you don’t have 
to be a specialist with unlimited funds 
to have Dahlias with large flowers. 
We will have a selection of Decorative 
Dahlias at popular prices. If you pre- 
fer smaller types ask for the Pompon 
varieties available in several colors.

TUBEROUS BEGONIAS 
Very choice flowering bulbs for shady 
patios, lath houses, ete., where they 
can be grown in pots or specially pre- 
pared beds. Even when not in flower 
the lush green of the foliage makes 
them very attractive. Flowers waxy, 
delicate and clear colored. 
Start tubers in moist peat moss, just 
setting them into the peat. When they 
sprout and start root growth they 
should be set in pots or beds of soil 
composed of peat, sand and loam in 
equal parts. Frequent watering, espe-

GLADIOLUS 
For gorgeous spikes of cut blooms the 
modern Gladiolus is tops. Large flow- 
ers, gloriously colored, appear on long 
spikes, are well spaced and full. They 
are very easy to grow even for the 
beginner and flowers may be had over 
a long time by planting in succession 
(that is by planting at two-week 
intervals). 
Set bulbs 2 to 3 inches deep in well 
prepared soil. Since they are usually 
grown for the flowers they are set in 
rows for easy cultivation. The bulbs 
should be set 4 to 5 inches apart in 
the rows. 
cially light spraying of the foliage 
makes for better growth. 
Camellia-Flowered. Most popular with 
fully double flowers like waxy camel ¢ 
lias. Colors include red, orange, rose 
pink, white and yellow. Some Picotee 
doubles are offered—these have a 
deeper colored edge to lighter petals. 
Hanging Baskets. Use Lloydi types 
which are naturally pendant and pro- 
duce cascades of lovely flowers. 
Price varies with the size of tubers 
purchased.
