R. & J. FARQUHAR CO., BOSTON. BEDDING PLANTS 



CANNAS 



Delivery May and June 



For bold, striking color effects, Cannas are one of the most popular of aU summer bedding plants. They bloom throughout the 

 summer and continue until cut down by heavy frosts. Set the plants about 2 feet apart, in well-fertilized soQ, and water plentifully. 

 If the finest blooms are desired, apply liquid manure throughout the flowering season. After the first black frost, the bulbs should 

 be lifted, dried off, and stored.
