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. ne.xt six Cannas i8 inches apart in 

 a circular row i8 inches from center. For each succeeding circle 

 use six more Cannas than were used in the previous circle and make 

 i8 inches farther away from the center. A lo-foot bed thus planted 

 will contain i Canna in center, 6 in first circle, i2 in second circle 

 and i8 in outer circle, all i8 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 i8 inches 

 apart each way. Water sparingly the first two weeks after planting; 

 when growing freely, water liberally.
