Cannas are perhaps the most effective 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 
etrectlve masses in beds, plant in rich, deeply-worked ground, in full sun, after 
„,, „,, ^ . danger from frost is passed, 18 Inches apart each way. In the fall lift the 
clumps, aUowing the soU to remain on, and pack the clumps closely In a dry ceUar, dividing the roots in the spring before replanting .
