The Canna has long been one of the most popular 
of bedding plants. The old varieties had very small 
flowers and we planted simply for the effect of the 
beautiful foliage. 
The new varieties are doubly attractive as they 
have not only the same beauty of foliage but also 
immense flowers of the most striking colors. If you 
have never grown any of these new orchid flowered 
Cannas you will be wonderfully surprised at their 
beauty. 
Cannas can oe used in a great many different 
ways: As a center of a flower bed, as a back-ground 
for a flower bed, in front of the house or fence, as a 
screen to hide poultry yards, alleys, etc. 
The culture of Cannas is very simple. All you do 
is to plant the bulbs about four inches deep in good 
soil and then see that they get plenty of water 
throughout the summer. The bulbs should not be 
planted outdoors until the soil is thoroughly warm 
as they will rot in cold soil. 
Be sure you order at least a few of these new 
Cannas. We know you will be delighted with them.
