Two Pages of Great Plants 



On pages 50 and 51 we offer a group of 

 plants providing exceptional decorative 

 value. Plants like Cannas and Caladiums 

 are showy, and beds of them provide 

 pleasing exotic pictures. Gladiolus are 

 beautiful in the garden, and few ever have 

 enough plants to supply the desire for 

 "Glads" in the house. They are superb 

 cut-flowers. 



Tuberoses, the Peruvian Daffodil and 

 the two Vines should be planted for their 

 fragrance, even if they were not good- 

 looking, but they are, so are doubly 

 valuable. These are all important garden 

 plants. 



Cinnamon Vine 



A hardy climber which grows very 

 rapidly. The foliage is bright green and 

 the white flowers are cinnamon-scented.

 10, 90c Not postpaid, each 10c; 10, 80c;

Ismene calathina 



(Peruvian Daffodil) 



A lovely white lily-like bloom with a 

 greenish tinge. The bulb is not hardy and 

 should be planted in the spring. It blooms 

 within a few weeks after planting. As a 

 general rule, the foliage is only partly 

 developed at the time of its blooming 

 period. It is fragrant and greatly admired 

 by those who know it. Postpaid, each

 ing 20 to 30 bell-shaped flowers of creamy 

 white in clusters on spikes 2 to 3 feet long. 

 Postpaid, choice bulbs, each 15c; doz. 

 $1.50. 



Caladium (Elephant's Ear) 



Wonderful plants for lawns, borders or 

 backgrounds. To obtain the maximum 

 growth they should be planted in rich soil 

 where they will get plenty of water. A 

 full-sized plant will stand 6 feet high and 

 bear immense leaves 3 to 4 feet long by 

 27 inches wide. They should not be 

 planted outdoors until May 1, but to get 

 them into early growth they can be 

 started in pots in the house.

 Large Bulbs, each 20c; 10, $1.75.
