ROOTS AND TUBERS 
CANNAS 
Great improvement has been made in Cannas in the 
last few years, not only in color and size of bloom, but 
the extension of the blooming period. New varieties 
now bloom throughout the Fall instead of a couple of 
weeks as the old varieties did. n __ inn

City of Portland. Beautiful dwarf pink. 
Eureka. Most popular pure white. 3-4 ft. in height. 
King Humbert. Red. Bronze foliage. 
King Midas. Yellow. 
President. Red crimson. Most popular red. Vigorous. 
Free bloomer. 
GLADIOLUS 
The Gladiolus continues to be our most popular cut 
flower. No flower is more easily grown. Gladiolus 
bloom within ten weeks from time of planting and con¬ 
tinue to bloom through late Summer and Fall. They 
should be planted at intervals of about two weeks apart. 
By making your first planting the first of May and con- 
tinuing planting at intervals of every two weeks until 
the middle of July, you can have blossoms from middle 
of July until frost. 
By all means plant some of the Autumn Queen. This 
odd variety should be planted in early Spring in order 
to get best results. Unlike most of the other varieties, 
the Autumn Queen will bloom from the first of Septem¬ 
ber until frost. The spikes will often be 3 to 4 feet long.

DAHLIAS 
We have in the past made the common error of offer¬ 
ing too many varieties of Dahlias—confusing the aver¬ 
age planter who is interested in a limited quantity of 
the best. Why experiment with so many varieties while 
from the following list a selection can be made to meet 
the requirements of the most experienced Dahlia 
grower ? 
Elinor Vanderveer. Dec. Large, rose pink. 
Jane Cowl. Dec. Immense blooms of glistening bronzy 
buff and salmon shades. 
Jersey Beauty. Dec. Rose pink. Most popular cut 
flower variety. 
Mrs. I. deVer Warner. Dec. Orchid. One of the best. 
Pop Stuart. Dec. Large rose pink. 
Roman Eagle. Dec. Brilliant copper. 
Sagamore. Dec. Large golden yellow. Good stems. 
Sanhican’s Blue Bird. Dec. Violet blue. Prolific 
bloomer. 
Shannon. Dec. Old gold. Excellent cut flower variety. 
World’s Best White. Dec. Large creamy white. 
Some of the above varieties have sold for as much as 
$25.00 per tuber. All are still good and among the best. 
We offer any of the above varieties at 50c. each, $5.00 
per doz., postpaid.
