This Berkshire gardener explains summer flowering bulbs are not true bulbs. Gladiolus, dahlia, canna, and tuberous begonias store food in underground organs but lack a complete embryonic plant. Tips cover planting times, depths, spacing, staking, and care for gladiolus, dahlias, cannas, and tuberous rooted begonias, plus notes on varieties and indoor starts.
A practical guide notes that ears depend on pollination, with tassels and silks distance influencing outcomes. It recommends planting corn in several short rows rather than one long row. The piece also describes Salvia varieties Blue Bedder and Salvia patens as blue summer blooms and mentions their hardiness in different climates. It ends with a nostalgic tip about lima beans planted edgewise with eyes downward.
