 more effective. They are not particular as to soil, although they do 

 best in a sunny, well-drained situation. Plant the roots any time after 

 all danger from frost is past. The improved, large-flowering sorts 

 bloom from early summer until fall. No orders for Cannas can be 

 accepted after May 1. Mailing weight, 6 ounces each.
