Choice Cannas 
STARTING CANNAS—The first batch of cannas is gen¬ 
erally started up early in March. Cut the rhizomes into 2-inch 
or 3-inch pieces, each with one eye at least, place them in 
flats on a layer of coarse soil, cover with sand, water well 
set the flats on the returning heat pipes; it is necessary to 
supply a little bottom heat in order to get best results. 
When a young growth is about three inches high, remove 
the flats to a light bench and about two weeks later pot the 
plants up singly in 314-inch pots, where they can remain 
until bedded out. As all the eyes will not start equally fast, potting 
will have to be done over a period of time, allowing underdeveloped 
plants to continue growing in flats until proper size is reached. 
Prices quoted are for dormant 1-2-eyed bulbs.

PANSY —To get neat plants full of bloom in May, sow the 
seed in our locality by the end of August, transplant October 
1st. Many growers sow the seed earlier, their plants get too 
big and are hard to handle. 
“Bad luck” excepted one ounce of Pansy seed will pro¬ 
duce at least 10,000 seedlings and as high as 18,000. 
IN JULY seeds of cool weather plants (pansy especially) 
come up poorly or not at all in spite of generous watering.
