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 plants. Starting back 
many years ago when we first introduced the Canna Flamingo, at 
that time considered the finest flower of the kind, and when Dr. 
Van Fleet, now connected with the Horticultural Department at 
Washington, was in our employ. Since that time wonderful im- 
provement has been obtained in the development 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 popularity 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 bloom and ornamental foliage makes them so desirable 
for planting in beds, on lawn or yard, and especially after early 
blooming bulbs are done.
