CANNAS 
These bright plants with their large “‘tropical’’ foliage and showy, 
neat looking flowers are often neglected in modern gardens. There 
is little reason for this since the newer varieties are real plants of 
merit. They require little attention after planting preferring a 
good soil and full sun. In cold climates the roots should be stored 
as for Gladiolus and Dahlias and planted again the following spring 
after danger of frost is passed. 4 for $1.00, postpaid.

peach markings. Indiana. Orange.

BLUE LILY OF THE NILE 
Agapanthus umbellatus. On stout, yet graceful stalks this plant 
bears large umbels of lovely blue lily-like flowers in great pro- 
fusion during the summer months. The leaves are long and narrow 
in nice clumps. Agapanthus is delightful when planted in colonies 
of several bulbs in partially shaded places where the blue flowers 
show up well against a dark green background, and is most ef- 
fective if partial sunlight strikes the flowers. Shade is not nec- 
essary, it just prolongs the flowering season. Bulbs for shipping, 
3 for $1.50, postpaid. Available all year.
