A WOMAN^S HARDY GARDEN 



dried off carefully, and stored in a cellar 

 that does not freeze. 



Gladioli can be planted from April fif- 

 teenth to June fifteenth, in beds by them- 

 selves or in clumps in the borders, so that 

 the blossoms may be had in succession. 

 Gladioli come in many colours. 



Caniias, the beautiful French varieties. 

 These, of course, are most effectively grown 

 in masses, and require full sun. The roots, 

 like those of the Dahlias, increase so that 

 there is almost double the quantity to plant 

 the next spring. It is well to have the 

 Cannas started in boxes in sunny windows, 

 in tool-room or carriage-house, by mid-April. 

 They can be kept through the winter with 

 the Dahhas and Gladioli.
