CANNAS IN QUANTITY FOR MASSING 



I The wonderful colorings and blendings we have in our modern Cannas 

 were never dreamed of a few years ago. With the introduction of many 

 new varieties each year the popularity of this flower is steadily increas- 

 ing and much interest is being taken in the planting of Canna beds. 



For the convenience of those who are at a loss what varieties to select 

 we make special offer of the best sorts in separate colors. If desired, we 

 will select tall, medium and low-growing varieties for arrangements in 

 beds. Dormant roots of Cannas should be potted in 4 or 5-inch pots or 

 planted in shallow boxes in March or April, and kept in a warm place, 

 to start them into growth. The started plants may be planted out about 

 May 20th to June 10th in the vicinity of New York; earlier in the South; 

 later in the North. They should be set about 18 inches apart. 



Price, dormant roots, $15.00 per 100. Not less than 25 sold at 100 rate.
