a 
GLADIOLUS 
One of the finest and most gor- 
geous for cut flowers. And glads 
are eaSy to grow by following 
the simple cultural directions. 
CULTURE. Glads thrive in any 
well drained soil. Plant 4 to 6 
inches deep depending on size of 
bulb. Plant late April to June 15, 
at intervals of 7 to 10 days for 
continuous bloom till frost. For 
specimen spikes, plant six inches 
apart in rows where they will 
have full sun at least three 
fourths of the day. When plant- 
ing bulbs, cover with two inches 
of soil, then as they continue to 
grow, keep adding earth to 
ground level, but do not cover 
sprouts completely. After the 
fifth leaf appears, give them one 
inch of water each week, unless 
rains add this amount. Before 
‘ground freezes dig bulbs and cut 
off yellow tops close to bulb. 
Place in shallow trays to dry out 
for about three weeks. Then re- 
move old bulb and roots. Save 
new bulb and bulblets for next 
years’ planting. Store in shallow 
trays not over four inches deep, 
in the coolest part of basement. 
Dust bulbs with DDT before stor- 
ing, and again before planting.

DAHLIAS 
The Dahlia is one of the most popular of garden flow- 
ers. Its flowers may be used for garden decorations, 
house decorations, bouquets, florists and exhibition. 
CULTURE. An open, sunny location seems to favor 
them at all times. Dahlias can be planted any time after 
danger of frost is over, but do not plant too early. The 
Dahlia is a fall flower and if planted too early will com- 
mence to bloom in the hottest weather, and either blast 
in the bud or produce one-sided flowers. 
Plant tuber 6 inches deep on its side, having sprout 
or eye facing upwards; cover with about two inches of 
soil. When sprouts are 6 inches high add more soil, 
making it level with surface. Cultivation is the prin- 
cipal requirement of the Dahlia.

CANNAS 
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, 20c; dozen, 
$2.00; postpaid, $2.35. 
We will have pot-grown Canna plants in green or 
bronze leaf and red flowers only, in late May at 50e 
each, or $5.00 a dozen.
