Iris Is a Grand Early Season Bloomer 
IRIS 
Iris should be planted in a sunny location and may be 
planted in groups or singly. Bearded varieties in general 
prefer an alkaline rather than an acid soil. The Iris 
should be planted in a well-drained location as too much 
moisture, especially 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 
summer months of July and August. 
We are offering the following select list of popular 
Pris: Orders will be accepted for July or August 
delivery. We can also supply almost any variety of Iris. 
The roots or rhizomes are larger in July and 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: Mulchings with lawn cuttings will help re- 
tain the moisture. Start bulbs in pots indoors in March 
or April. Do not set out until all danger of frost is over; 
about June ist here in the Northwest, 
CANNA PRICES, on varieties listed: Each, 15c; dozen,

We expect to have pot-grown Canna plants in late
