PA. Last year we bought 8 climbing Roses from you and planted them in a 

 northern exposure giving them no winter protection. Now all are thriving but 

 one. Mother M. Irene, Cresson. May 19, 1931. 



Bed of famous West Grove Cann 



Famous West Grove Cannas Dingee Hardy Violets 



Cannas are not hardy and should not be planted 



until danger of frost is past. Take the roots up in 



the fall and store them in a warm, dry place. 

 No flowers will make such an attractive bed. 



Rapid in growth, freedom of bloom and ornamental 



foliage makes them so desirable for planting in 



beds, on lawn or yard, and especially after early 



blooming bulbs are done. Bloom all summer long. 



APRICOT — 4 feet. The color is a buff-yellow base 

 overspread with salmon-pink, making a mass ef- 

 fect of rich apricot. 



NOKOMIS — 5 feet. Large, vivid crimson flowers 

 with a rich silky sheen on the petals. Rich bronze 

 foliage. 



KING HUMBERT — A glorious Canna. The finest 

 we have ever seen. Grows to a height of about 

 5 feet. Immense dark bronze foliage with great 

 heads of orange-scarlet flowers. 



KING MIDAS — 5 feet. Very large flowers of glit- 

 tering gamboge-yellow. An outstanding variety, 

 making glorious trusses on stems as straight as 

 an arrow. A true Canna aristocrat 



MRS. ALFRED F. CONARD — 4 feet. Color, a beau- 

 tiful shade of salmon-pink. Flowers of immense 

 size. Producing blooms so freely as to make a 

 continuous show for several months. 



PANAMA — The orange-red petals are bordered with 

 a broad edge of golden yellow. Flowers large and 

 overlapping. 



PRESIDENT — Produces immense heads of glowing 

 crimson flowers 7 inches across the open bloom, 

 on strong erect stalks well above the foliage; 4 

 feet in height. 



EUREKA — The best white. The large substantial 

 flowers are freely produced on vigorous upright 

 stalks. 4H feet. 50c each. 



THE AMBASSADOR — 4 feet. Brilliant, large, 

 cherry-red flowers, borne freely on strong stems 

 well above the healthy bronze foliage. Splendid 

 for bedding. 



YELLOW KING HUMBERT— 4 feet. A sport from 

 the bronze foliage variety of the same name, 

 but with blooms of yellow dotted with red, and 

 green foliage. Good as King Humbert. 



MRS. PIERRE S. DUPONT— 3 to 4 feet. Single 

 flowers very large and form immense heads. Pet- 

 als firm and bloom opens perfectly and does not 

 wilt in the hot sun. Color a vivid watermelon- 

 pink and very attractive. The edge of the pet- 

 als is wavy or crinkled. Flower stems are strong 

 and upright holding the heads well above the 

 healthy green foliage. Price, strong pot plants, 



35c each, postpaid. 



All Cannas furnished in big, strong, pot-grown 



plants, ready to bloom. 



Price above kinds or assorted strong pot plants, 



except where otherwise noted, 20c each; 5 for 



$1.00 postpaid; $2.00 per dozen, postpaid. 



Rich in modest beauty, famed for its enchanting 

 fragrance, the Violet continues to increase in pop- 

 ularity. With the last snows of winter still about 

 it this gentle flower shyly appears from out its 

 icy bed, heralding the coming of spring. All our 

 plants are absolutely clean and heathy. 



Price, strong plants, 15c each; any 12 for $1.50, 

 postpaid. If 100 plants are wanted ask for prices. 

 FRET'S FRAGRANT — Flowers rich dark purple. 

 For freedom of bloom this new variety outclass- 

 es all others. Very fragrant. 

 PRINCE OF WALES— One of the best. The large, 

 blue, single flowers are deliciously fragrant.

 imposing foliage plants, including novelties and

Seed 



It produces a smooth, velvety green sward of at- 

 tractive appearance. Sow the seed carefully and 

 evenly at the rate of one quart to a space equal to 

 15x20 feet; two bushels will sow one acre. After 

 sowing cover the seed by raking or harrowing it. 



Seeding may be done at any time during the 

 spring, summer or fall, but the best results are 

 obtained by sowing during April, May, September 

 or October. Where fall sowing is practical a top- 

 dressing of manure is recommended to protect the 

 roots of the young grass during the winter. In the 

 spring the gross matter should be removed, leav- 

 ing the surface clean. To renovate lawn, loosen 

 the soil on the bare spots with a steel rake, and 

 after sowing a liberal quantity of seed, roll or rake 

 again to cover the seed. 



Price, by mail, 50c per pound; in bulk, by ex- 

 press, 45c per pound, 20 pounds or more.
