Madison St., Chicago SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS For Spring Planting BULBS are of easiest culture, inexpensive, and require but little care. Put them in the ground out of doors in April and May. Some will bloom in June, and all during the same year as planted. These include many of our most attractive plants for both foliage and flowers. As a rule they should be planted out of doors after the weather has become somewhat settled and warm.

Amaryllis Most of those we list are suitable for house, conservatory, and garden. For pot culture Amaryllis re- quire a well-drained, turfy, sandy soil and a growing and resting season. If convenient, start in hotbed, beginning with fifty degrees of heat, increasing to sixty or seventy. When the leaves appear, water care- fully and not in too great quantity.

BEGONIAS (Tuberous Rooted) Showy velvet-like flowers of enormous size bloom- ing continuously until frost have made these plants well favored for outdoor bedding.
