GALTONIA 
(Giant Summer Hyacinth) 
It is unfortunate that space does not 
permit our picturing these stately 
flower spikes. Sometimes called Hya- 
cinthus candicans, these bulbs grow 
2 to 4 feet tall. The stalks are crowned 
by impressive, intensely white, bell- 
shaped blooms. They can be grown in 
beds, in front of shrubbery or in the 
border. Plant 6 inches deep and treat 
like gladiolus. If the old stalks are cut, 
the plant usually blooms for two 
; months. 35c¢ per package; 3 for $1.00;

liant beauties. Their double blooms 
are 5 to 8 inches in diameter. Best 
of all, once started, they continue

frost. Wonderful for window boxes,

How to Plant 
For early bloom, the tubers can 
be started indoors two to four weeks 
before being planted outdoors. 
After the danger of frost is past, 
they can be planted outside. In- 
doors or outdoors, plant very shal- 
low in soil containing a large pro- 
portion of peat moss. They like a 
partly shaded, moist soil with lots 
of organic matter. They grow 10 to 
15 inches high.
