To have increased the endurance of the 

 bloom;

HOW TO PLANT AND GROW 



C. & J. Pedigree Cannas 



Up until May i, we send out our Cannas in Dormant Roots, 

 except the new kinds which we offer only in potted plants. After 

 May I, we aim to have all kinds ready in potted plants. Price, 5c. 

 each more than Dormant Roots. 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
