GANNAS 
These wonderful Iredding plants give uniformly good results in all sections of the country. 
They succeed in any sunny position, in any kind of soil, hut will repay liberal treatment. 
For best .results spade the beds 2 feet deep and incorporate in the soil a liberal amount 
of well-decayed manure of any kind. Water well at all times. The best effect is given by 
planting large masses of one color, setting the plants 18 inches apart. All of my plants 
are pot-grown, and are ready to bloom at once. The table below will show the number 
of plants required for beds of all sizes.

Square 
beds will 
take about the 
same number of plants 
as round beds. 
For 
an oval 
bed add length and breadth and divide by 2. For example, an oval 7 feet long by 5 feet 
wide will require the same number of plants as a circular bed 6 feet in diameter.
