I 
Cannas 
One of the most popular of bedding plants with their green and bronze foliage and 
bright flowers; we grow six of the best varieties. Each, 10c; per dozen, 90c, postpaid. 
KING HUMBERT. 4 to 5 feet. Giant flowered, orange scarlet, bronze leaf. The 
flowers are very large and very free blooming. The handsome leathery foliage is of 
strong habit. 
YELLOW KING HUMBERT. Same as above except that the flowers are yellow. 
PRAIRIE GOLD. A very fine variety; flowers clear yellow. 
THE PRESIDENT. The most sensational introduction of recent years. The largest 
flowered, most vigorous-growing red Canna. The immense trusses of giant florets are 
produced in great profusion. Green foliage. This variety introduced only a few years 
ago, has proved itself worthy of a place in every collection and every place where bold, 
effective performance can be appreciated; 5 feet. 
HUNGARIA. Fine pink, green foliage. 
Mixed Cannas—By express, dozen, 60c; 100, $4.00. 
Mailing price, dozen, 75 cents. 
TUBEROSES 
A beautiful wax-like, very sweet-scented, 
double flower growing on tall stems. 
Price—6 for 25c; by mail, 7c each. 
BLEEDING HEART 
DICENTRA. Bleeding Heart, the popu¬ 
lar name of the Dicentra, is derived from 
the curious heart-shaped blossoms, with the 
drop of blood below; were great favorites 
in the old gardens. Fine for the border or 
margins of shrubbery. In the spring these 
plants bear beautiful heart-shaped flowers 
of a light red color. The stems grow 18 to 
24 inches high, with abundant deeply cut 
leaves of light green color. Price 25c each, 
10 for $2.25, postpaid. 
HARDY ASTERS 
These are among the showiest of our late 
flowering hardy plants, giving a wealth of 
bloom at a season when most other hardy 
flowers are past, and for best effect, should 
be planted in masses of one color. They 
grow freely in any soil. We have red and 
white and blue. 
Each, 20c; 6 for $1.00; mailing price. 
BUSH CLEMATIS 
RECTA. Grows 2 to 3 feet high with 
fragrant, pure white flowers in large 
trusses during June and July; 3%-inch 
pots. Each, 20c; 25c, postpaid. 
SCARLET SAGE 
(Monardo Didyma) 
Two feet. This is a perennial sage, per¬ 
fectly hardy here. Flowers come on well- 
branched stems, about two feet high. Very 
pretty red, and blooms a long time. Flow¬ 
ers are about as large as carnations. Price, 
15c each; 10 for $1.00, postpaid. 
GAILLARDIA GRANDIFLORA 
(Blanket Plower) 
Among the everblooming hardy plants 
there is none more showy or ornamental 
than this. Flowers borne in prodigal con¬ 
fusion from June to frost; useful for cut 
flowers. They are of gorgeous coloring, 
dark red-brown in center with bands of 
crimson, orange and vermilion, meriting 
the popular title of "Aurora Flower.” 
Height, 2 feet. I find this to be one of the 
best perennials in my garden. It is very 
hardy, needs little care, blooms continu¬ 
ously all summer, has long stems and 
therefore can be used in almost any bou¬ 
quet. Those who wish flowers and have not 
much time to take care of them should 
plant Gaillardia. 
Price, postpaid, 15c each; per dozen, $1.50. 
PHLOX 
No class of hardy plants Is more de¬ 
sirable than the Perennial Phloxes. They 
will thrive in any position and can be used 
to advantage in the hardy border, in large 
groups on the lawn, or planted in front of 
belts of shrubbery, where, by judicious 
pinching back and removing faded flow¬ 
ers, a constant succession of bloom may 
be had until frost. 
Mixed Phlox, 20c each; 6 for $1.00. 
Named Varieties of Phlox, 25c each; 5 
for $1.00, postpaid. 
BEACON. Cherry red, uniform and com¬ 
pact in growth. 
B. COMPTE. Rich purple, admired by 
all. 
MISS EINGARD. Earliest white. 
MRS. JENKINS. Very beautiful, pure 
white. 
R. P. STRUTHERS. Salmon-red. 
PANTHEON. Rose pink. 
GLADIOLUS 
One of the most attractive summer flow¬ 
ering bulbs. Very ornamental for the 
lawn. To obtain a succession of bloom 
there should be several plantings made at 
intervals of about a week. Set bulbs 6 
to 9 inches apart and about 4 inches deep. 
If the soil is poor see that it is carefully 
enriched. The flowers are excellent for 
cutting, and last a week in water, the 
bulbs opening well. The bulbs should be 
taken up in the fall before heavy freezing 
weather sets in and allowed to dry off in 
the sun. Cut off the stem close to the 
bulb, put in paper bags, and place where 
they will not freeze. A cold, dry atmos¬ 
phere is best. We have a fine collection 
of the large flowering sorts. 
Good Bulbs—10 for 25c; 100, $2.00. Par¬ 
cel Post, 10 for 30c; 100, $2.25. 
Extra Barge Bulbs—10 for 35c; 100, $3.00. 
Parcel Post, 10 for 40c; 100, $3.50.
