Cannas in Quantity for Massing 
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 popilerity of this flower is steadily increasing 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 mak 
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 warim 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.
