IRIS 
Iris should be planted in a 
sunny location and may be 
planted in groups or. singly. 
fer an alkaline rather than an 
acid soil. The Iris should be 
planted in a well-drained loca- 
tion as too much moisture, es- | 
pecially in hot weather, may | 
cause the roots to decay. Iris | 
may be planted at any time of 
the year except when they are ; 
in bloom or when the ground is | 
frozen, although the best time 
for planting is in the early 
spring or months of July and 
August, 
We are offering the following 
select list of popular Iris for 
spring delivery, or orders will be 
accepted for July or August de- 
livery. We can also supply al- 
most any variety of Iris not | 
listed on this page. The roots ; 
or rhizomes are larger in July eee 
or August than in the spring.

CANNAS 
Cannas with their rich foliage and brilliant flowers are 
a big favorite as a beautifier of home grounds and parks. 
The Cannas thrive under almost any conditions and 
if given a little care and attention, will produce an 
abundance'of attractive foliage as well as large spikes 
of beautiful flowers of unusually bright colors. Their 
long flowering season insures a constant display of color, 
Cannas make the best showing when planted in beds 
by themselves. The soil should be well fertilized and 
worked up thoroughly to a depth of 10 to 12 inches. The 
bulbs can be set about 12 inches apart and about 4 to 6 
inches deep. Mulching with lawn cuttings will help 
retain the moisture. Start bulbs in pots indoors in 
March or April. Do not set out until all danger of frost 
is over; about June list here in the Northwest. 
The Cannas we offer are not dormant bulbs, but potted 
plants that have been started in the greenhouse so that 
they have developed a real live root system. Give them 
plenty of moisture until they are set out. Add postage 
to mail orders.
