Dazzling Cannas 
What could be more charming than a nice bed of Cannas against a green 
lawn? These stately, dazzling colored, giant flowers, are so inexpensive that you 
can afford all you have room for. The luxuriant foliage would be worth the effort 
even if they bore no flowers. But they do bear flowers in profusion from July 
until frost. Perhaps it is the tropical effect which makes them such great fa¬ 
vorites. 
Easy to grow in any garden soil. Work the soil up well and keep them watered. Plant 
about 12 inches to 18 inches apart to allow; plenty of room. We give you average height of 
each variety, color of flower and color of foliage. With this information, you can work out 
a color scheme which will suit your individual taste. Order your Canna Roots early so you 
can start them indoors for later transplanting. 
Cannas are line for shielding unsightly house foundations, fences, 
garages, etc. Make nice beds in the middle of your lawn.

One of the most delightfully fragrant and beautiful of the 
summer flowering bulbs. A long succession of bloom may be

mits and also planting other bulbs directly in the garden at 
the same time. The Pearl is a distinct type of dwarf habit 
and much larger flowers. It is of strong growth with dark 
broad foliage. Each bulb produces a spike of beautiful waxy 
white flowers. If planted in the garden in May they will pro¬

earlier. Strong bulbs, 3 for 25c; 6 for 40c; 12 for 75c.
