CANNAS. 



No other bedding plant will give the same uniiom goof

 all sections of the country, and stand pre-eminently at th« 

 head of the list, succeeding in any sunny positioa in aaT 

 kind of soil, but responding quickly to liberal treatment 

 For best results the beds should be spaded two feet deep 

 and a liberal amount of well-decayed manure of any kino 

 thoroughly incorporated, and at all times supplying wate 

 freely. For best effect plant in large masses of one coloi 

 setting out the plants 2 feet apart To find the number e 

 plants required for any bed from 3 to 20 feet in diametei
