HENDERSON’S PICTURESQUE GARDENS 
French Cannas for Lawn Bedding 
The illustration to the right gives a good 
idea of the value and beauty of the dwarf 
large -flowering French Cannas as lawn bed- 
ders. These Cannas are perfectly at home 
in the American climate, and when grown 
in rich deep soil and not allowed to suffer 
for lack of moisture, they are gorgeously ef- 
fective, particularly so when massed one sort 
only in one bed. Their luxuriant dwarf 
growth, immense Gladiolus - like flowers of 
most brilliant colors, and their profusion and 
:continuity of bloom until frost render them 
easily the most satisfactory and popular bed- 
ding and garden plants grown. 
Artistic Home Grounds 
To the left we show an 
example of home grounds 
artistically treated. The 
vase-embellished balustrade is 
in keeping with the archi- 
tecture of the house and its 
surroundings. The broad 
sweep of open lawn is pleas- 
ingly dressed at the boun- 
daries with evergreen and 
deciduous trees and shrubs 
— of both pyramidal and 
round-headed growth. There 
is harmony and yet the 
charm of variety in color, 
light, shade and form both 
against the sky-line and 
lawn outline.
