Cannas 
_ Bloom June Till Frost 
Plant Cannas for a profusion of large, dazzling flowers from 
June till frost. Their stately habit, large foliage and gaudy 
colors produce a rather tropical effect. Excellent as a sum- 
mer screen for unsightly objects. They produce a good effect 
singly. in beds, small groups in the hardy border, or among 
shrubs. 
For a circular bed take a stake and string and mark a cir- 
cle 18 in. from center or 3 ft. across. Lengthen the string 18 
in. for each circle. Set one plant in the center, six in the first 
circle, 12 in the second, 18 in the third, and so on. It requires 
37 plants for a bed 9 feet across, and at least a foot all 
around should be allowed for growth of foliage. Plant when 
you plant your garden, in a sunny situation in good, rich, 
mellow garden soil, 18 in. apart. Not hardy; must be stored 
over winter.

Dahlias 
for Autumn Flowers 
Easily grown and give an abundance of flowers in early 
autumn. The decorative type have large, broad petals in 
rather flat heads. Special care and disbudding will increase 
the size of the flowers. Not hardy; must be stored over winter. 
In the central and southern states the summers are too hot 
for good Dahlia flowers. Plant late (about May 15 here) to 
have them blooming during the cooler autumn days. Lay the 
tuber flat, the eye or sprout upward. When three pairs of 
leaves are formed, pinch out top pair to make them branch.

Gladiolus 
for Summer Flowers 
They are easily grown, seldom troubled with insects and 
diseases, increase rapidly, and are probably the most popu- 
lar of summer and fall blooming bulbs. By planting as soon 
as danger of frost is over, and at intervals of two weeks, you 
can have Gladiolus from latter June to September. The col- 
ors range from white through the different shades of yellow, 
orange, pink, red and purple. Plant 3 to 5 in. apart. Instruc- 
tions will be sent with the bulbs. 
Please Notice We Quote By Size 
“Blooming size’ doesn’t mean much, because Ist, 2nd, 3rd, 
4th and 5th size will bloom, though the smaller sizes give 
smaller flowers and smaller spikes than the larger sizes. 
First size is 1 in. and over in diameter; 2nd size, 114 in; 
3rd size 1 in.; 4th size 34 in.; 5th size /2 in. 
Gladiolus, Mixed 
An excellent mixture of 2nd size bulbs, 114 in. in diameter, 
perhaps the best value for outdoor planting, as they give nice 
spikes of flowers. One each of 12 first class varieties, not la- 
beled, 1.20; two each for 2.10. Postpaid in Missouri, Arkan- 
sas, Iowa, Kansas and Oklahoma. For more distant states 
add 5c per dozen. 
Gooseberries 
Easily grown and readily respond to a little care. Plant 
3x9 or 4x5 ft. A northern slope or slight shade is best. 
Houghton. The best for most sections; medium size but a 
profuse bearer; resistant to rust; pale dull red when ripe, 
usually picked green. 2 year No. 1, 50¢ each, 3 at 45c¢ each. 
Apple Trees 
for Home Orchards 
The only way for the average family to have all the fresh 
fruit they want is to grow their own. The home orchard 
should include an assortment from early to late. A good 
planting distance is 30x30 ft., requiring 48 trees per acre.
