HOW TO ARRANGE CANNAS IN A CIRCULAR BED 
Get the tallest-growing varieties in the center, and then care- 
fully grade each succeeding circle, using dwarf kinds for the outside. 
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 
18 inches farther away from the center. A 10-foot bed thus planted 
will contain 1 Canna in center, 6 in first circle, 12 in second circle 
and 18 in outer circle, all 18 inches apart.

HOW TO PLANT and GROW C. & J. IMPROVED CANNAS 
Dormant 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.
