How to Plant Cannas 



In a Circular Bed 



Start with one plant of a tall growing habit for the 

 center. Draw a circle eighteen inches from this one 

 and use a dwarfer variety for this circle, which will 

 require six plants; then draw another circle eighteen 

 inches from the first circle or thirty-six inches from 

 the center, and use a still dwarfer variety for this 

 circle, winch will require 12 plants, and plant each 

 succeeding circle in the same manner. Each sitc- 

 ceeding circle will require six more plants, set 18 

 inches apart, which is the proper distance, than the 

 previous circle; thus, 1 plant for the center, 6 plants 

 for the first circle, 12 plants for the second circle. 



18 plants for the third circle, and so on. A bed 4 

 feet in diameter will require 7 plants; a 7-foot bed, 



19 plants; 10-foot bed, Zl plants; 16-foot bed. 91 

 plants. For the best effect plant beds in all one 

 variety, as the sloping effect can be secured by mak- 

 ing the soil in the bed higher in the center and 

 sloping to the edges. For border around the beds 

 use Alternantheras, Sweet Alyssum, or Coleus. 

 Alternantheras should be set 6 inches apart, Coleus 

 12 inches for the best efifect. Sweet Alyssum found 

 on page 100 can be sown at time of planting the 

 Cannas. We offer special collections of these plants 

 for different size beds on 4-page circular enclosed.
