CANNAS 



The Cannas we offer are plants in growth, out of pots, not dormant roots 



For bold, striking color effects, Cannas are one of the most popular of all summer bedding plants. They bloom through<out the 

 summer and continue untU cut down by heavy frosts. Set the plants about 2 feet apart, in well-fertilized soil, and water pleatifuUy. 

 If the finest blooms are desired, apply liquid manure throughout the flowering season. After the first black frost, the bulbs should 

 be lifted, dried off, and stored.
