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.

 rapidly. The foliage is bright green and 

 the white flowers are cinnamon-scented. 

 Postpaid, tubers, each 15c; $1.25 for 10.

 graceful feathery white flowers of a de- 

 lightful fragrance. Postpaid, tubers, each
