New Floral Guide—Spring, 1907. S7 
IS THERE A PLACE ON “YOUR LAWN” FOR A FLOWER BED 
that will produce an Abundance of Blossoms all Summer long? 
It matters not how large it is or indeed how small; if you have a suitable spot that gets the sunshine, 
plant a bed of Cannas and enjoy the pure beauty of their freshly opened flowers every day, from June 
tili frost. Why let the parks monopolize these gorgeous color displays? Why not have them at home, 
for you can, easily. ; 
So great is the variety of sizes and colors that there seems no limit tothe combinations and places in which these 
Anke can be successfully used. Some even have them flowering in Winter indoors, but they are better for outdoor Summer 
loom. 
For example, the dwarfer kinds may be planted in single or double rows along the walk, or side of the porch; others may be 
banked against theside of a building or in front of a hedge or a back ground of Shrubs, (always placing the shortest kinds in 
front), or used asa hedge plant they prettily mark a dividing line where no real barrier is needed, but the best effect of all is pro- 
duced when many plants of a kind are placed together in masses or large beds, round, square, oval, or oblong; ora triangle bed 
of glowing color for some suitable corner. 
You simply secure the colors you want and the proper sizes, then place them where they will look best on your lawn and 
with a little care described below you can have fresh flowers blooming every day for nearly four months of the year. Weknow 
of no other plant in the florai kingdom which blossoms so luxuriantly, continuously and beautifully as do these Canna Lilies 
How to Plant and Grow 
Directions For Laying Out Circular Beds 
Always use tallest growing varieties in the centre, and then 
carefully grading each succeeding circle, using dwarf kinds 
for the outside, just as provided for in beds on page 56. 
Plant one Canna in centre of bed, next six Cannas 18 inches 
apart ina circular row 18 inches from centre. For each suc- 
ceeding circle use six more Cannas than were used in the 
previous circle and make it 18 inches farther away from the 
centre. A bed thus planted will containl Canna in the centre, 
6in the first circle, 12 in the second circle, 18 in the third 
circle, 24 in the fourth circle, etc., and all 18 inches apart.

tion entirely to us, we will choose suitable kinds, and send

Up till May Ist, we send out our Cannas in Dormant Roots, 
except the new kinds which we offer only in potted plants. 
After May Ist, we aim to have all kinds ready in potted plants, 
Price 5cts. each more than Dormant Roots. Dormant Canna 
Roots may by 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 
Dozmant Roots do not set too deep. The eye should show a 
little through the ground when done. Plant in good rich gar- 
den soil mixed with % of old rotted stable manure. Set 
them about 18 inches apart each way. Water sparingly first 
two weeks after planting, when growing freely water liberally. 
It will makethem 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 warm, light, dry cellar. Toward Spring, 
when they show signs of starting, keep back as much as possi- 
ble until 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.
