I feel that I must say a word in regard to the Winder's Colossal Canna 

 Bed. I only wish someone from your firm could have seen it. It was beauti- 

 ful and the flowers bloomed constantly until a few days ago. — Mrs. L. H., 

 Parkesburg, Pa.

How to Grow Cannas 



Plant a glowing bed of Cannas this 

 year and have magnificent tropical bloom 

 from June till frost. 



In Washington, thousands of C. & J. 

 Cannas are planted yearly on the public 

 grounds because, for lawn display, they 

 are the brightest, grandest, most satis- 

 factory flowers to be had. See prices for 

 beds on page 27. 



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.
