Brilliant Cannas 



Due to great improvements made in recent 

 years, Cannas have become very popular for 

 large beds and mixed borders. The foliage 

 is quite ornamental and the blooms make a 

 mass of color from July until frost. 



Start the roots indoors in pots in early 

 March and plant in their permanent position 

 about the middle of May; or the roots may 

 be planted in the place where they are to 

 bloom in early May. Set plants 1^ to 2 

 feet apart in a sunny location. The heights 

 as stated will vary according to richness of 

 the soil and location. 



Dig roots after the first killing frost, cut 

 off the foliage, and store in a cool, dry place 

 over Winter.

 high, and bear huge flowers (sometimes 3 

 1 and 4 inches across) of the same waxy tex- 

 ' ture as the small Begonias. Colors range 

 | through white and yellow to red. They
