BUlbS Gad TUbers 
We especially recommend these carefully selected varieties of bulbs and 
tubers for spring planting. Every one is a good investment that will pay 
dividends in beauty year after year. 
Gladiolus are amazing in their adaptability, and because they give so gen- 
erously of their bloom and beauty, yet demand so little in the way of care 
and cultivation, they are considered one of our most useful flowers. 
The new hybrid Cannas come in striking shades of apricot and watermelon 
pink, and make excellent strong accents for the perennial border. 
Few flowers offer us such variety in form and color as do the Dahlias. They 
bring a richness to the late summer garden that is unequalled. 
Tuberous-rooted Begonias come in many types which are decorative both 
in the garden'and as potted plants in a wide variety of colors.
