of summer flowering plants. Flowers measure from four to six 
inches across, colors ranging from pure white and delicate pink, 
yellow, and orange to rich scarlet and deep crimson. Used to 
excellent advantage in window or porch boxes in semi-shaded 
places. Bulbs may be started in-doors in February and trans-

CALLA (Richardia Elliottiana) 
The variety offered below succeeds best when treated in 
the same manner as gladioli, tuberoses and other summer- 
flowering bulbs. They should be planted in the open border 
in a dormant condition when danger from frost is over in 
spring, and will then flower during the summer months. When 
the tops are killed by frost in the autumn, dig and store 
through the winter as you would potatoes. 
Golden Yellow. The deep golden yellow flowers are truly 
magnificent. The green foliage is spotted creamy white, which 
adds to its beauty.

A beautiful, rapid-growing summer climber, with bright 
green, glossy foliage, and spikes of deliciously cinnamon- 
scented, white flowers. It is perfectly hardy, the stem dying 
down in winter, but growing with great rapidity in the spring, 
so as to cover any trellis or arbor very early in the season.

They may be planted in pots, in window boxes or in 
outdoor beds, but always in a shady or semi-shady location.

Caladium or Elephant Ears 
One of the most effective plants in cultivation for the 
flower border bed or for planting out on the lawn. They will 
grow in any garden soil, and are of the easiest culture. To 
obtain the best results they should be planted where they will 
obtain plenty of water and abundance of rich compost. Foliage 
light green. When full size they stand 6 feet high and bear 
immense leaves 3 to 4 feet long by 2% feet wide. Should not 
be planted in the open until May Ist, but to get them in early 
growth can be started indoors. 
These are particularly fine for center of beds, giving a 
beautiful effect where Cannas and Scarlet Sage are planted on 
the outside borders.

for growth and cultivation. Water thoroughly when 
you plant and keep the plants well watered for two or 
three weeks until they are are growing vigorously. After 
a good soaking rain, the plants will take care of them- 
selves, except during extremely dry weather.

first circle, 12 in the second circle, then 18, 24, etc., ac- 
cording to the size of the bed with the circles, and the 
plants in the circles 18 inches apart. A bed 4 feet in 
diameter takes 7 Cannas; a 7-foot bed, 19 Cannas; a 
10-foot bed, 37 Cannas; a 16-foot bed, 91 Cannas. 
Apricot. 4 ft. We consider this canna of unusual 
merit and especially valuable, because it adds a new 
color to the list. Apricot has healthy bright green 
foliage. The flowers are of large size and a most pleas- 
Ing mixture of buff and salmon which gives the apricot 
shade from which it takes its name. 
_ Eureka. 4 ft. Remarkably free-flowering variety and with 
its striking white flowers, which first appear cream, makes a 
very effective show used with a good scarlet. 
Hungaria. 3% ft. The ideal pink bedder, flowers large in 
good trusses. Color not unlike that of Paul Neyron Rose.

liant orange scarlet, bright red markings. Foliage broad and 
massive, of a rich, coppery bronze. 5 feet. 
Mohawk. 5 ft. Flowers are large with long petals that 
withstand hot sun and rain. Color is a brilliant poppy-red 
toning to carmine. Beautiful bronze foliage. This variety will 
give a wealth of bloom. Mohawk is a good variety to plant 
with Eureka, using Mohawk in the center as it grows taller. 
Mrs. Alfred F. Conard. It is the most robust of pink 
cannas and has the largest flowers. The blossoms are of a 
Any of the above Cannas, 15c 
rich pink color and retain their beauty after days of exposure

green foltage.

date, as the average flowers almost cover a man’s hat. Color 
is a striking vivid scarlet that retains its brilliancy.

plants, golden yellow flowers lightly spotted red. Makes a 
splendid variety to bed with the bronze leaf King Humbert.
