GIANT HYBRID AMMARYLLIS

TRY SOME OUTDOORS FOR AN UNUSUAL EFFECT

There are few bulbs that give the amateur gardener more for his time and money than
the Amaryllis. This is the finest race of Amaryllis in cultivation, and has excellent form as
well as a diversity of colors and markings. Plant them with the neck of the bulb protruding
on the top of the soil.

Sor A REAL SPECIALTY AT FLOWERFIELD—-WE GROW ACRES OF THEM |

Today the newer Cannas, lower growing and bearing bril-
th liant flowers, are being used more and more by smart gar-
ie a deners. A pink Canna and pink Geranium border is at once
a novelty and a delight for your garden. Long prized as a
foliage plant, Cannas are now being grown more for their
excellently colored flowers. They bloom for a longer period,

and make a finer display than any other large flowering plant
we know. Another great advantage of the Canna is its sturdi- |

ness. They are strong enough to hold their own with shrubs
and are often interplanted in shrub borders or groupings with

beautiful effect.

NOT FUSSY ABOUT SOIL

Cannas may be planted in almost any kind of soil but
prefer a rather heavy soil where they should be planted three
to four inches deep. They may be allowed to stay in the
ground in the autumn as long as they continue to grow and
should be left until the tops are touched by the frost. They
then may be dug and stored for the winter.

Our Canna list is complete. From it you may choose the
height, color of bloom and color of foliage which you desire. |

Calla Lilies

A delightful and unusual summer-flowering bulb for your garden. Plant clumps of
them in the foreground of your sunny border, your perennial garden, or in pots for in-
door bloom. You will enjoy the beautiful trumpet-shaped flower, and the peculiarly

being very small and dainty. All grow well in moist soil, and will stand partial shade.

BEACON Satcaa ed

; EACH ONE |S THE FINEST MEDIUM-PRICED

AVE MARIA Doz. $1.25
The lovely soft blue florets have a deep red-purple throat
and a most graceful form. The color and substance are
such that this is one of the best of the light blue varie-
ties of Gladiolus. It is an ideal cut flower and equally good
in the garden.

BAGDAD Doz. $1.00
One of the most outstanding Gladiolus in the ‘’smoky”
class. The perfectly huge flowers flare wide open, almost
crowding each other on the stiff tall stem. The color is
difficult to describe, but is well shown by the picture be-
low. A strong sturdy grower, Bagdad has one of the
strongest stalks of all Gladiolus. It is ideal as a cut
flower, or in the garden, where it grows sturdily without
staking.

BEACON Doz. $1.25
A new variety that is a scion of the healthy Picardy strain.
Beacon has many of the same growing traits as Picardy,
which is perhaps as good a recommendation as can be
made of any Gladiolus, the spikes being very tall and
carrying many large florets open at a time. Beacon is a
most sturdy Gladiolus with a striking color scheme, as
illustrated.

KING LEAR Doz. $1.25
A very tall variety, King Lear carries beautiful Fuchsia-
colored ruffled florets. The gracefully curved stem and
lovely flowers of King Lear make it a most decorative
variety for the garden.

MAID OF ORLEANS Doz. $1.25
This is a fine all-around white, particularly adapted to cut
flower purposes. A soft cream shade in the center tends to

turn pure white on the outer edges of the petals. The
florets are well shaped and particularly well arranged
on the long flower head. This variety is long lasting
when cut, making it ideal for arrangements.

MINUET : Doz, $1.15
The standard orchid-pink Gladiolus so well known as a
cut flower at your local florist. As many as 8 florets
are open at once, almost crowding each other on the
long stiff, straight spikes. An ideal cut flower, lasting
a long time after cutting.

REWI FALLU

Gjerden Champions’ WADILUS

VARIETY IN ITS COLOR RANGE

MISS BLOOMINGTON Doz. $1.15
A fine canary-yellow with many florets open, arranged ideally along a
good spike. A most decorative type of Gladiolus, particularly attractive
when used to set off darker spots in the border or to contrast with the
deeper-toned Gladiolus. A fine variety for cutting, one to lend bright-
ness and cheer to your arrangement.

PELEGRINA Doz. $1.00
The only pure dark violet-blue variety that has stood the test of time
and growing conditions. An early variety, Pelegrina blooms very uni-
formly, all the spikes coming into bloom within a day of one another.
The florets are medium sized and the deep blue is sometimes marked
with a purplish blotch on the lower florets, making it appear almost
black in color.

PICARDY Doz. $1.25
Unless and until some of the newer Gladiolus are as popular and as
worthy, Picardy is and will be the Gladiolus. Almost too well known to
describe, Picardy is a lovely pink flower shown below and is to be seen
wherever Gladiolus are exhibited, be it at the Flower Show or at the
Flower Shop. Grown from our huge and healthy bulbs we know that you
can have the finest Gladiolus in your garden when you grow Picardy.
A superb variety whose spike is always straight, erect, and carries many
florets open at a time.

REWI FALLU Doz. $1.25
Huge and red, this Gladiolus is another of the New Zealand varieties
so well known for their tremendous size and extraordinary vigor. Named
for its Maori hybridizer, Rewi Fallu is one of the finest dark reds known,
an ideal variety for garden or cut flower use. Even the very topmost
bud opens into a flower of very large size. There is nothing finer in the
darker red class.

ROCKET Doz. $1.15
A most vivid scarlet of fine proportions. The large florets are perfectly
placed on its excellent spike. It is probably the best scarlet of all, cer-
tainly the best in its price class. Not the least of its many advantages is
that from 7 to 8 florets open at once, giving a wonderful splash of
color in the garden.

VAGABOND PRINCE Doz. $1.25
One of the most striking Gladiolus for cut flower arrangements that has
yet been hybridized. Vagabond Prince is a deep mahogany-colored
flower, livened by a garnet shield in the throat, and across the lower
petals. The substance is similar to that of Picardy, having the stiffness
of that most worth-while variety. The spikes. are strong, sturdy, and
straight, carrying many florets open at a time. Vagabond Prince is an
ideal color for indoor cut flowers for it blends into surroundings where
no other color will serve,
