C-P. RELIABLE DOZEN 



The large-flowered Cannas described on these two pages are kinds that a few 

 years ago were sold for SI to $5 each. They still retain the high-quality blooms 

 they had when first introduced and produce a profusion of giant heads of flowers 

 continuously for months. There is no other summer-flowering plant to compare 

 with Cannas for gorgeous color display for months at a time. 



Plant them along the shrubbery border or in front of evergreens where the bril- 

 liant blooms win show off" most eff'ectively or put them around the base of your 

 porch, in beds by themselves. Use them as a dividing-hne between properties 

 to make your place, and also your ne ghbor's place, bright and attractive. 



Cannas require little care. Plant them 18 inches apart, water them daily until 

 the plants are about 8 inches high and show signs of new growth. When once 

 properly started they wiH take care of themselves.

 above the large, healthy green foliage. The flowers resist drought and heat in 

 a remarkable w^ay. This Canna is grown by the hundred thousands yet there 

 is never enough to supply the demand. Order early. 25 cts. each; 10 for $2; 

 100 for $18, delivered. (Potted plants 5 cts. each extra.)
