BEDDING PLANTS 
Ready lor shipment during May and June 
( ustomers ordering bedding plants would favor us greatly if convenient to them, by sending in their orders as early 
as possible, at the same time naming a shipping date; otherwise we send plants as soon as they are ready for delivery. 
It is also a great help, especially when late delivery is required, that we reserve good plants for these shipments, while we 
fill all orders with our best stock as received. It is also important that we should have orders in our possession alxmt three 
days before shipment is required, that we may readily take care of the orders already on hand and allow time for filling 
new orders. We ship plant orders as soon as possible, but there are obstacles that hinder us at times beyond our control.

Cannas 
In supplying Cannas to our customers it has been far 
more satisfactory to fill our orders with growing plants 
instead of dry bulbs. We can, however, supply bulbs of 
our varieties during January, February and sometimes as 
late as the middle of March, but we much prefer to supply 
our orders with the plants during May and June. 
Each 15c., doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00. 
Orchid Flowering 
Orchid-flowering Cannas are very large flowering 
and taller than the other varieties; some of the finest 
colors are to be found in this class of Cannas, the flowers 
being nearly double the size of the other varieties. When 
planted in the lawn it is best to select a somewhat sheltered 
place to protect them against strong wind, for the flowers 
being larger they bruise more easily than the Crozy type.
