SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS, ROOTS 
AND PLANTS 
CANNAS 
The Canna has long been considered an almost 
Indispensable plant for flower garden or lawn 
embellishment. So popular have they become 
and so thoroughly are they adapted for bedding 
purposes, that every summer thousands of them 
are planted in all the parks, cemeteries and pri¬ 
vate places in the country. A more gorgeous 
eight can scarcely be imagined than the many 
great masses of them of all colors we frequently 
see. The flowers are produced in great clusters 
throughout the entire summer.

CANNA, FLORENCE VAUGHAN. 
FLORENCE VAUGHAN. Five feet. A mag¬ 
nificent variety; golden yellow, dotted with spots 
of bright scarlet; foliage green. 
XING HUMBERT. Five feet. In this grand 
Canna we have a combination of the highest type 
of flowers with the finest bronze foliage. Its

spotted and blotched with bright red; measuring 
5 to 7 inches across, individual petals 3 to 3% inches 
in diameter. An orchid flowering sport of the well- 
known variety. King Humbert. Some plants will oc¬ 
casionally give a scarlet or scarlet-striped flower, 
which we consider an improvement rather than a 
defect. 
APRICOT. Four feet. The color is a buff-yellow 
base overspread with salmon-pink, making a mass 
effect of rich apricot.

na; flowers large, in good sized trusses. An unusual 
shade and one not found in any other variety.

CITY OF PORTLAND. 4 feet. Large green 
leaves. Flowers bright pink. The best pink on the 
market. 
VENUS. 4 feet. A rosy pink with border of 
creamy yellow. Green foliage. 
MADAME CROZY. Four feet. Still the leading 
Canna of its kind and color. The flowers are borne 
in great clusters; color a glossy brilliant vermilion 
bordered with gold; foliage bright. 
EUREKA. Four feet. Remarkably free-flowering 
variety and with its striking white flowers, which 
first appear cream, makes a very effective show in 
conjunction with a good scarlet such at King Hum¬ 
bert. A robust grower, forming sturdy, shapely 
plants quickly. 
CINNAMON VINE 
A lovely climber, taking its name from the pe¬ 
culiar fragrance of its delicate white flowen. 
The leaves are heart-shaped, bright, glossy green. 
Growth is very rapid, reaching about eight feet 
in height; quite hardy. 
MADEIRA VINE 
The Madeira vine is of rapid growth, with 
dense and beautiful foliage, twining to great 
height. It grows anywhere, but does better in a 
warm, sunny, sheltered location. It is also a 
very pretty plant for training around the win¬ 
dows in the house. 
HARDY LILIES. 
AURATUM. The glorious, gold-banded lily Of 
Japan and one of the most superb plants in culti¬ 
vation. Its immense ivory-white flowers sure 
thickly studded with yellow and crimson spots, 
while in the center of each petal is a golden band, 
fading at its edges into the white. Such choice 
bulbs as we offer, if well cared for, will give from 
five to ten magnificent flowers the first year and 
under good cultivation will, after becoming woll 
tablished, give from ten to fifty blossoms. 
SFECIOSUM ALBUM. Pure white flowers with 
a greenish band through the center of each petal; 
of great substance, very fragrant. One of ths 
best for general culture. 
SFBCIOSUM RUBRUM. No words can over¬ 
state the brilliant beauty of these famous Japan¬ 
ese lillies. The six broad white or pink petals 
are thickly dotted with rose or crimson spots and 
the graceful form and brilliant color make them 
vf»ry effective and desirable. Especially thrifty 
Bulbs.
