BULBS FOR SPRING PLANTING.
Many of the most showy, attractive, inexpensive and easiest grown of all summer and autumn flowers are contained in this important class. There are scarcely any others flower that can compare with the noble and brilliant spikes of the Gladiolus, the grace and elegance of the Lily, the purity and sweetness of the Tuberose, the majestic foliage of the Caladium, and the wonderful markings of the Tigrida. Bulbs for spring planting require scarcely any care, and quickly make a gorgeous display, while the bulbs can be kept over winter, and will year after year continue to return a hundred-fold in beauty and satisfaction the trifling expense of the original cost.
In the following list we have selected the varieties which we believe will give our customers the best satisfaction. The bulbs are large and strong and will be sent, well packed, in the same parcels with flower or vegetable seeds, plants or other goods. We trust all who have a flower garden will include some of these bulbs in their order. Sent postpaid at price named.
