Bed of Famous West Grove Cannas 



Famous West Grove Cannas 



The introduction of these wonderful decorative plants in this country 

 is so woven into the liistory of West Grove that it is known far and 

 near as the home of magnificent plants. Cannas are easily grown, and 

 will thrive in .ilmost any situation. 



Cannas are not hardy and should not be planted until danger of 

 frost is past. Take the roots up in the fall and store them in a warm, 

 dry place. 



No flowers will make such an attractive bed. Rapid in growth, 

 freedom of bloom and ornamental fohage makes them so desirable 

 for planting in beds, on lawn or yard, and especially after early 

 blooming bulbs are done. 



Our stock proved itself in the fields last summer to be far superior 

 to any in the country, for strength of growth, freedom of bloom, 

 and length of the blooming period.
