Dazzling Cannas 
See Their Colorful Beauty 
On Inside Back Cover 
What would be more charmins 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 favorites. 
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 indi¬ 
vidual taste. Order your Canna Roots early so you can start them indoors for later transplanting.

Elephant’s Ear, Caladium 
Escultentum. One of the most effective 
tropical-like plants. Beautiful for lawn decor¬ 
ation, whether planted singly, in clumps, or 
for borders of subtropical groups. Especially 
nice when planted with Cannas. They like 
a rich deep soil and plenty of water. A single 
plant will often grow six feet tall with leaves 
four feet long and three feet wide. Each plant 
should have at least a pail of water every day 
that it does not rain. Plant Caladiums as a 
background for shorter growing annual flowers 
in your garden and you will like the effect.

orange-scarlet. Blooms continuously from July 
to October. The flower spikes are made up of 
a multitude of small tubular flowerettes and 
are borne on strong tall stems often 3 to 4 feet 
high. Unless in a very warm protected location 
where they may be mulched well they should 
be lifted in the late fall and packed in sand. 
Each 30c; 3 for SOc; 6 for 91.50; 
12 for 92.50.

Double Dwarf Pearl Tuberose 
One of the most delightfully fragrant and beautiful of the 
summer flowering bulbs. A long succession of bloom may be 
secured by starting them in pots or box of peat or in a hot bed 
and setting them in the garden as soon as weather permits 
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 produce their de¬ 
lightful bloom in August and September. Strong bulbs,
