A Canna-Bed is always highly attractive, but a suitable 


border doubles its beauty. Fountain Grass as shown in 
photo above, red Salvia or Caladiums are fine borders 
for Canna Beds. 
Fountain 
Grass 
(Pennisetum ruppelianum) 
This is a very graceful 
plant, its narrow leaf- 
blades are of dark green 
color, shiny, always free 
from rust or insects, arch- 
ing gracefully at a height 
of about 2 feet. The plume- 
stems grow about one foot 
above the foliage, with 
beautifully shaped plumes, 
long cylindrical spikes, of 
fluffy, long-lasting purplish 
gray. A marvelous. border 
for Canna Beds planted 
about 18 inches apart. Also 
very showy as background 
to your bed of Annuals and 
Perennials. Use them free- 
ly in your garden. Foun- 
tain Grass is an Annual 
plant, good for one season 
only. Price: 3 for 55c; 10 
for $1.50; postpaid. 
Salvia 
SCARLET SAGE 
No other plant produces 
such a wealth of flowers, 
without interruption from 
mid-summer to frost. Dou- 
bling the real beauty of 
this plant is the showy, 
dense dark green foliage, 
above which the spikes of 
blossoms appear in their 
intense scarlet shading. 
Planted about 14 inches 
apart, they make a solid 
green and scarlet border 
around beds of larger flow- 
ers, especially Canna Beds. 
No matter what the flower 
bed contains, if it is bor- 
dered with Salvia the total 
appearance becomes capti- 
vating.- This is an annual 
plant, for immediate re- 
sults, the first season only, 
grows about 18 inches high, 
and has the added advan- 
tage of attracting the rare 
Hummingbirds. 3 for 55c; 
10 for $1.50; postpaid. 
We ship Fountain Grass and Salvia plants when most 
danger of frost in your locality is past.

cessful. The bulb is taken
