Celosia, Dwarf Rose 



You Can Grow These Striking Plants in the House as Well as in 

 the Garden 



CANNA [tP-3 ft.] There is fine dignity in this stately plant. 

 As several stalks spring from a single root, a few plants 

 create an imposing group. Each stalk produces broad leaves 

 of green or bronze, topped by a cluster of large flowers of 

 varied and \i\-id colors. Usually they are started from roots, 

 as few people realize that they can easily be grown from 

 seed. The seeds, however, are very hard and should be 

 notched or filed and soaked before planting.

 height during the season if planted in rich soil in a warm 

 sunny place. The flowers, growing in clusters, are tubular 

 and expand into star-shaped rims. Their color is an intense 

 fiery red which shows off to advantage against the feathery 



green of the leaves 3^1 oz. 40c; pkt. 10c

 surpass in beaut}' of form or delicious fragrance the richly 

 hued Carnation. The plants are branching but compact, 

 and the handsome blossoms are produced on blue-green 

 stems that are stiff but slender. The double flowers with, 

 their thick waxy petals are spicily scented.

 blooms six months after seeding and continues throughout

 Chabaud.
