ten days. Now bring to full sunlight and if prop- 

 erly treated, the bloom stalks will be in flower in a 

 few days and the plants will keep flowering all fall 

 and winter and beat anything in flowering plants 

 you have ever handled. Cannas treated as above 

 are easily managed and don't be alarmed if the 

 temperature in the house should drop to 50°, provid- 

 ing this does not happen too often. 62° to 65° is a 

 good night temperature for them and 70° occasion- 

 ally will not hurt, but if continued would produce 

 too much soft growth and encourage red spider. 

 It is well to spray the under leaves of the plants 

 each evening to keep thern healthy and prevent 

 red spider. This is the only pest we have ever 

 known with Cannas under glass.
