Gannas (Gladiolus-Flowered). 
Their spikes resemble Gladioli, and their brilliant colours show grandly against the tropical-like foliage : they bloom continuously 
during the Summer. The foliage is broad and massive, and comprises various shades of rich green, glaucous and chocolate-crimson tints, 
giving a beautiful and tropical aspect to pleasure grounds. When planted in groups on lawns or in the centre of beds — in warm or sheltered 
situations — they form most effective objects during the summer months. They are also fine for conservatory decoration, and can be kept 
growing and flowering during the Winter. Cannas are entirely free from insects and disease. After flowering they may be treated similarly 
to Gladioli and Dahlia tubers.

CHRISTMAS ROSE (Hellebopus). 
A well-known favourite hardy herbaceous plant, producing its beautiful pure white flowers at Christmas and during 
when flowers are very scarce. They grow well in any ordinary garden soil, but prefer a moist, shady situation. With 
few hand-lights, bell glasses, or squares of glass at the flowering season, the blooms can be kept clean and beautiful, 
grown in pots, and flowered in a cold greenhouse or frame.

see Catalogue of Herbaceous Plants. 
Majestic hardy early-blooming border plants 
with a crowning whorl of beautiful drooping 
bell-shaped flowers. They are suitable either 
for mi.xed borders or the front of shrubberies, 
but wherever planted should have a sunny 
situation where they can be left undisturbed 
for years. They succeed well in any good, 
light, well-drained garden soil. For pot culture 
one bulb should be placed in a 6 inch pot, and 
grown on in a low tempei'ature. Fresh manure 
of any kind is very injurious.

The Corms of Cyclamen Persicum we offer 
are our own raising from seeds saved from the 
finest large-flowered varieties in cultivation. 
The blooms are of enormous size, thrown well 
above the foliage, and are of the brightest and 
most diversified shades of colour possible. For 
profuseness of bloom, combined with robust 
growth, this strain is unrivalled. The corms 
should be potted in August or September. The 
best compost is a mixture of good loam, leaf 
mould, sandy peat, and well-rotted manure. 
Water should be given sparingly until the 
growth has commenced, after which it should 
be given more liberally. Weak liquid manure 
may be occasionally applied, but in doubtful 
cases it is best to reserve it until the flower 
buds make their appearance.
