EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN, FARM AND LAWN 
SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS 
GANNAS 
Carinas are perhaps the most oflective of all bedding plants, and are also useful 
to fill in as single specimens, or groups, vacant places in the hardy border, or 
among young shrubbery that has not had time to cover the ground. For 
effective masses in beds, plant in rich, deeply-worked ground, in full sun, after 
all danger from frost is passed, 18 inches apart each way. In the fall lift the 
clumps, allowing the soil to remain on, and pack the clumps closely ia a dry cellar, dividing the roots in the spring before replanting.
