2 QUEEN LILY 
Queen Lily is an old name for CURCUMA PETIOLATA, a 
showy plant for pot culture, with attractive foliage, and 
spikes of soft yellow, subtended by violet-toned green bracts. 
The plants bloom freely in summer, but go nearly dormant 
in winter. Plants, or tubers, each 80c.

with variegated leaves, carmine-tinged white bracts and yel- 
low flowers. One grower calls it “a striking picture of exotic 
splendor.”’ Pkt. 35c. 
CYCLAMEN FOR CHARM AND BEAUTY 
Easy enough from seeds sown under glass, rather sure to 
germinate. However a tiny tuber is formed before any growth 
appears above the surface, and it may take six weeks and 
more to produce ene 2 EE a 
first leaf. Illus-

New frontiers wait in the garden. Adventure is still 
there for those who will seek it, but adventure worthily, 
expecting sometimes a loss. Adventure does not hold with- 
in guaranteed and hostaged horizons. Risk is ever its 
shadow.

3 A DAHLIA-ROOT OPPORTUNITY 
For striking beauty, sometimes almost overpowering in mag- 
nificence of size and color, the large-flowered Dahlias stand 
alone. Every garden should have them, for outdoor showing 
and for cutting. At our Nursery we grow many of the better 
named sorts, but not in large quantities, so we offer them only 
in mixture. Each order for DAHLIA TUBERS OPPORTU- 
NITY MIXED will be filled individually from really good 
named sorts that have been kept separate, but the tubers will 
in no instance be marked with name. Careful thought will be 
given to color balance in each lot, and we shall try to include 
as many distinct kinds as circumstances may permit. Here is 
an unsurpassed opportunity to get tubers of really fine Dahlias 
at low cost. Supplied in standard divisions at 5 for $1.80; 10 
for $3.25; 25 for $7.00.
