Bed of Famous West Grove Cannas 



Dingee Magnificent Everblooming Cannas 



The introduction of these wonderful decorative plants in 

 this country is so woven into the history of West Grove 

 that it is known far and near as the home of magnificent 

 pilants. Starting- back many years ago, when we first intro- 

 duced the Canna Flamingo, at that time considered the 

 finest flower of the kind, and when Dr. Van Fleet, now con- 

 nected with the Horticultural Department at Washington, 

 was in our emploj-. Since that time wonderful improvement 

 has been obtained in the d'evelopment of new varieties, such 

 as increasing the size of heads and individual flowers, the 

 color of the blooms, the size of the plants and the length of 

 the blooming period, all of which has increased the popular- 

 ity of the gorgeous flowers. Cannas are easily grown, and 

 will thrive in almost 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 bloona and ornamental foliage makes 

 them so desirable for planting in beds, on lawn or yard, and 

 especially after early blooming bulbs are done.
