Large- Flowering 
CANNAS 
Cannas bloom from early summer 
until frost in all sections of the country. 
They succeed best in a sunny position 
and in practically any kind of soil, re- 
sponding freely to liberal treatment. For 
- best results, prepare the bed about two 
feet deep and include a generous supply 
of well-decayed manure. They enjoy 
plenty of moisture during their growing 
season.
