TIGRIDIA 
e 
( Mexican Tuberose 
on ae me 
sheil Fiower ) 
These unique, but little known flowers come from the 
ancient gardens of Mexico. Flowering in midsummer, the 
three outer petals form a triangular pattern which is repeated 
in the arrangement of the three smaller center petals, which 
are spotted in tiger fashion. Although the individual flower lasts only one day, 
plants are free blooming and lend a dominant color note to your garden for 
many weeks. Plants attain a height of 2 to 2! feet, with short, sabre-like foliage and 
may be used as cut flowers if the stems are seared immediately after cutting. Bulbs 
should be planted 4 inches deep in the spring 
when the soil is warm. They prefer rich soils 
and full sun. In late autumn the bulbs must be 
dug, dried, and stored in a cool, dry place for 
the winter. Varied shades of bril- 
liant orange, scarlet, pink and 
white and lilac, blotched and spot- 
ted with shades of crimson and 
maroon. 
Mixed only, $1.55 per doz.; $3.00 per 25

Cannas are invaluable for a really lovely show in your garden or 
a special bed in the center of your lawn. The brilliant shades of the 
flowers together with the majestic foliage in varying shades of green 
and bronze provide an exotic effect. The roots are best started early 
as Cannas thrive best in midsummer heat. They bloom for months 
until late fall and should be watered freely in dry periods. Store dur- 
ing the winter as Dahlias.
