Cannas are almost indis- 

 pensable where a display of 

 vivid color is needed. They 

 bloom abundantly and un- 

 ceasingly during hot summer 

 months when other bright 

 flowers may be wilting, and 

 continue until cut down by 

 hard frost. No other flower 

 of like value grows more 

 easily, gives more bloom, and 

 requires less care. 



Thousands of visitors to 

 Washington are impressed 

 with the beauty of the 

 public grounds, on which great beds of 

 Cannas are planted annually to add a 

 touch of gaiety to the spacious lawns such 

 as no other summer-flowering plant could 

 produce. The beds of Cannas give con- 

 tinuous, brilliant bloom all summer and 

 until cut down by frost. 



Plant 18 inches apart, in deep, loamy 

 soil which has first been enriched with 

 cow-manure, or shredded cattle manure 

 which can be purchased at any seed 

 supply store. First-class garden soil will 

 do. Cannas are heavy feeders, and new 

 bloom-stalks are constantly growing, each 

 one producing a great head, and sometimes 

 three heads of blooms.
