A BLOOM OF MRS. ALFRED F. CONARD CANNA. 
We send out dormant roots in strong divisions from field-grown clumps.

THE CANNA IS THE KING OF BEDDING PLANTS. 
How to Plant a Gorgeous Canna Bed 
Figure the quantity ofroots you will require by allowing 18 inches square for each plant (2 feet square each for the orchid flowering varieties). 
FOR CIRCULAR BEDS. Plant 1 in the center, 6 in the first surrounding circle, 13 in the second circle, then 18, 24, etc. Plant the tallest 
grower in the center then carefully down grade each succeeding circle, using the lowest grower for the outside. Canna beds may also be one 
solid variety, if desired, by making your bed mound shape with highest pointin the centre. Set the roots from 4 to 6 inches deep. A7 foot 
bed planted as above will contain 19 cannas; a 19 foot bed 37 cannas; a16 foot bed 91 cannas, etc. This arrangement will allow 6 inches at the 
edge for a border of edging plants. 
Salvias, coleus and geraniums are much used for this purpose.
