CHARLOTTE M. HAINES, ROCKFORD, ILL., SEEDS GROWN BY A WOMAN 33 
LARGE' FLOWERING 
CANNAS 
Cannas are one of our slowest flowers but have to be 
taken in every winter as the roots will freeze if left out. 
Let the frost kill the leaves and when digging leave some 
earth on the roots. Store them in sand in a dark, dry, 
frost-proof room. When re-planting the following spring 
separate the roots or stems, making several plants.
