Buist’s Superb Cannas 
CINNAMON VINE 
A rapid-growing climber, taking its name from the 
peculiar fragrance of the delicate white flowers. The 
leaves are heart-shaped, bright glossy-green; growth is 
very rapid, often running 25 to 40 feet; quite hardy. 
Large select roots. Three for 25c; #1.00 per doz., post¬ 
paid. 
GLOXINIAS 
These showy plants are easily grown in pots for 
Summer or Winter blooming. They make a glorious 
display and bloom for a long time. Plant the bulbs in 
small individual pots. The soil best suited should 
contain plenty of leafmold, some sand, and well-rotted 
manure. Place the pots in a warm window and keep 
moderately moist, but do not water to excess. When 
the roots become crowded in the first pot, the plants 
should be transplanted into larger ones. Protect against 
direct strong sunlight. Just before the plants come into 
bloom an application of very weak liquid manure is of 
great benefit. 
Mixed Colors. A mixture of blue, red, white and 
spotted. 35c each; three for 90c; #3.25 per doz.; 
postpaid. 
MONTBRETIAS 
The Montbretias are one of the brightest of our 
Summer-flowering bulbs, and should be planted exten¬ 
sively. They are easily grown and their graceful flower- 
stems add to any garden. The bulbs are quite hardy and 
should be planted early in the Spring, choosing a warm 
sunny location. Plant them 3 to 6 in. apart, 4 in. 
deep, in clumps of a dozen or more. They should be 
protected during the Winter with a heavy covering of 
leaves or litter.
