reason can be that they all have plenty 

 of fibrous roots, but hardly one good, 

 strong root in the whole clump? Our 

 land was in blue grass, plowed under 

 two weeks before planting the cannas, 

 J. v.— Miss. 



From the appearance of the canna 

 roots, they might have been grown in 

 a spongy soil that lacked clay. Cannas 

 grown in a light soil are liable to pro- 

 duce plenty of top growth, but not much 

 root. Possibly the varieties grown by 

 you do not produce much root, as, for 

 instance, Austria, which always makes 

 a small root. Cannas do not grow well 

 in heavy clay soil, but they need some 

 clay in the soil to make them root prop- 

 erly.

are grown at somewhat different tem- 

 peratures, but you can, if desired, grow 

 some of each and do it moderately well 

 in the same house. An average mini- 

 mum temperature of 50 degrees will suit 

 most of these plants. Pelargoniums and 

 cinerarias should have the cold end of 

 the house, as they do better in a low 

 temperature. Cyclamens in the earlier 

 stage of their growth do best at about 

 55 to 60 degrees, but later do well at 

 50 degrees. Asparagus plumosus does 

 well at 50 degrees, but succeeds better 

 a few degrees warmer. The remainder 

 of the plants will do excellently at 50 

 degrees, W. C.
