CANNAS 
(2-5 EYE ROOT DIVISIONS) 
' The summer evening band concert—the octagonal bandstand in the village park—and 
solid beds and borders of flaming cannas. 
Cannas went out with surreys, but have since been hybridized and glorified into tones 
ranging from ivory and yellow through rose and apricot to rich scarlet. Both the bold 
tropical foliage in green and bronze, and the great heads of vivid color make this 
cousin of the banana a handsome plant for bedding and background. 
Roots can be carried over the winter in the root cellar. These are 2 to 5 eye root 
divisions, each variety labeled, and shipped from Georgia until May first.

ASTILBE (clumps) 
This is seldom seen in gardens, possibly because it is rarely grown from seed and the 
roots are not usually listed in catalogs. It is a hardy perennial from Japan with pleasing, 
finely-cut foliage and those feathery plumes of blooms which are so effective in 
arrangements. 
“Astilbe is a handsome item for midsummer bloom in the garden and 
blossoms year after year. Easy to grow in a sunny or partly shady 
location. It is also a good greenhouse forcing subject.” 
These clumps for garden planting this spring can be lifted in November for green- 
house forcing for Easter. Shipped until May 31. Minimum 5 clumps.
