DID YOU EVER 



ABEDc^xCANNAS 



IN -^ 



FULL BLOOM? 



IT is a most gorgeous and impressive sight— above the luxuriant tropical foliage there rises a beautiful 

 mass of oriental flowers, whose immense size and intensely brilliant colors combine to make it the 

 most handsome, most ornamental and, at the same time, most satisfactory bed one ^an plant. We 

 recommend the following combinations for planting in beds. May be had either in dormant roots or 

 potted plants. The latter, as a rule, make quicker and more uniform growth, but must be sent by 

 express at purchaser's expense. We expect to have potted plants ready for shipment soon after April 10th. 



DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING CtRCULA.R BEDS— Plant one Canna in centre of bed and the next six Cannas 

 18 inches apart in a circular row around the centre; each Canna in first circle should be 18 inches away from the centre. 

 Make each succeeding circle 18 inches farther away from centre than last one was, and use six more Cannas than was in 

 the last circle. A bed thus planted will contain one Canna in the centre, six in the first circle, twelve in the second circle, 

 eighteen in the third circle and so on, all 18 inches apart.
