MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO 



Beautiful Lily-Cannas 



Cannas are called the poor man's Orchid because one may possess a perfect riot of color in his yard or garden for 

 the minimum of both outlay and labor. They grow rapidly and bloom luxuriantly throughout a long season, requiring 

 merely ordinary hoeing and weeding, and they always respond to plenty of water. Soak the ground thoroughly. Plant- 

 ed in beds of any formal shape, in rows or in front of porches and foundation walls, their rich, tropical foliage and 

 gaudy bloom will repay their care and the insignificant trouble of winter storage.

 the most unusual of all Cannas. 4 feet. 20 cents.
