Wallflower 
CHEIRANTHUS 
An old fashioned favorite. The sweet fragrance 
and the oriental coloring of the flowers in their 
rich red, yellows and browns, make an effective 
appeal for a place in the garden. They are easily 
grown, succeeding best in a rather shady position, 
and they last long as cut flowers. Price: 75c per

pretty mauve flowers. 2 Vi-inch pots 15e; 4-inch

CANNAS 
Approaching a garden from a distance, probably the first thing that 
attracts ones attention is a glowing spot of color, so bright one wonders 
what it could possibly be. As one draws nearer he will probably find that 
it is a fine mass planting of Cannas, those glorious free flowering subjects 
that raise their immense trusses of flowers high above their luxuriant trop¬ 
ical appearing foliage. 
With a return to gayer and more colorful gardens and homes, Cannas 
are finding renewed favor. 
A Superb New Canna 
CALIENTE 
This canna, a Paul J. Howard introduc¬ 
tion for 1935, stands unsurpassed in every 
way. The very large flowers are vivid scar¬ 
let-red, of great brilliancy and evenness of 
tone. The petals have a broad rounded form, 
displaying their glistening color with utmost 
effectiveness. The flowers are borne in 
enormous trusses, many of them open at 
one time, like the finest types of gladiolus, 
the old flowers dropping off cleanly, so that 
the plants always are perfect in appearance. 
The plants are robust in growth with beau¬ 
tiful brownish violet foliage. Caliente is, we 
believe, destined to be the leader of all 
bright red Cannas. 
Strong divisions, 50c each; 
$4.50 for 10 
Cannas require little care; but are grate¬ 
ful for liberal amounts of water and ferti¬ 
lizer, giving reward in more luxuriant 
growth, and larger, more perfect flowers 
in abundance. 
Cannas are extremely fine subjects for 
bedding, to produce a brilliant display of 
color, almost the year ’round. The tall, clean 
spikes are also very attractive in large vases. 
They should be planted in a sunny position, 
in rich soil and given a liberal supply of 
water. They are very attractive when 
planted in colored pots, in rich soil and 
placed in the patio, or other spots which 
need brightening with a splash of color.
