CANNAS 



These wonderful bedding plants give 

 uniformly good results in all sections 

 of the c •.— :->. Trey succeed in any 

 ■ crtion, in any kind of soil, 

 but will repay liberal treatment. For 

 best results spade the beds 2 feet deep. 

 and incorporate in the soil a liberal 

 amount of well-decayed manure of any 

 kind. Water well at all times. The 

 best effect is given by planting large 

 masses of one color, setting the plants 

 18 inches apart. All the plants are 

 pot-grown, and are ready to start grow- 

 ing at once. ,
