LARGE-FLOWERING 
GANNAS 
A few Gannas planted in groups in the shrub 
border or a solid mass of a single variety in a bed 
will give a touch to your home grounds that can 
not be obtained with any other flower. For many 
years, it has been the most popular bedding 
plant not only because of its massive foliage and 
bright colored flowers borne on tall stocks, but 
also because of the ease with which it is grown. 
It thrives well in any soil and takes kindly to the 
hot sun and drying winds of our very trying 
climate. In planting, spade the ground up deeply 
and if you want unusual results, put in a little 
well-rotted cow manure down about two feet, 
mixing it well with soil. Space the Gannas from 
twelve to eighteen inches apart depending on the 
height to which your variety grows, putting the 
root about two inches below the surface. Gannas 
like particularly well, a rich, moist soil and be¬ 
cause of their huge wide-spreading leaves, they 
respond well to the application of plenty of 
moisture.
