36 BEST CANNAS FOR MAKING BEDS 



This list of cannas offers an excellent opportunity for making showy flower beds of continuous 

 bloom of almost any size and color combination desired. Remember that tall kinds should be placed 

 in the rear or center of your beds with dwarf ones always outside, and perhaps the most effective 

 show of all can be produced .by planting an entire bed with simply one variety. The solid colors 

 are best for such use.

How to Plant and Grow 



Up till May 1st, we send out our Cannas in Dormant 

 Roots, except the new kinds which we offer only in potted 

 plants. After May 1st, we aim to have all kinds ready in 



Sotted plants. Price 5c. each more than Dormant Roots, 

 ormant Canna Roots may be started indoors during March 

 or April, but should not be set out until weather is settled 

 and the ground warm, usually May or June, in this latitude. 

 When planting Dormant Roots do not set too deep. The 

 eye should show a little through the ground when done. 

 Plant in good rich garden soil mixed with one-half of old 

 rotted stable manure. Set them about 18 inches apart each 

 way. Water sparingly the first two weeks after planting, 

 when growing freely water liberally. It will make them 

 bloom more. In the late Autumn when killed down by 

 frost, cut off the tops, lift the roots, leaving the earth on, 

 and store in a cool root-cellar. Toward Spring, when they 

 show signs of starting, keep back as much as possible until 

 the weather is settled and ground warm. When ready to 

 plant, divide carefully and cut the roots up like potatoes, 

 taking care to leave only two or three eyes to a root, and 

 then proceed to plant again as shown above.

JgGg" If you prefer to have a bed of all one color please say 

 so when ordering. For beds at these prices customer must 

 leave selection of varieties entirely to us. =©& 



When laying out circular beds always use tallest growing 

 varieties in the center, and then carefully grading each suc- 

 ceeding circle, using dwarf kinds for the outside, just as pro- 

 vided for in beds on page 58. Plant one Canna in center of 

 bed, next six Cannas 18 inches apart in a circular row 18 

 inches from center. For each succeeding circle use six more 

 Cannas than were used in the previous circle and make it 

 18 inches farther away from the center. A bed thus planted 

 will contain 1 Canna in center, 6 in first circle, 12 in second 

 circle, 18 in third circle, 24 in fourth circle, etc., and all 18 

 inches apart.
