CANNA LILIES 
C. & J. Canna Lilies (not to be confused with the old-fashioned flowerless kind) are a dis- 
tinctly new strain, producing great masses of large lily-like flowers all Summer long and gorgeously 
beautiful. ‘‘King of Bedding Plants”’ is a title they have, and richly deserve. They begin to bloom by 
the end of June and never stop tillfrost. The flowers are a veritable blaze of color in every shade imagi- 
nable (except blue) and either plain, dappled, edged, striped or variegated. Plants range in sizes from 
2% to 7 feet high with foliage of green or bronze often striped like some rare tropical plant. So you see 
they are suitable for planting in beds of all possible shapes and sizes or for placing along fences, walls, 
porches or driveways, for screens, hedges and border plants. (See our Suggestions and Directions ‘“‘How 
to Grow’’, page 57). They grow most anywhere, but do best in rich soil. Canna Lilies ordered early 
should be started indoors. Plant out when the ground is warm (say May 10th in this latitude), Easy to 
grow and multiply rapidly. Try some.
