Alexander’s Larj|e Flowering Cannas 
The Cannas are the most popular of all Bedding Plants; standing our pre-eminently, because they give such 
good results and can be grown satisfactorily in all parts of the country. They do well in all sections, succeeding 
*•: in any sunny position, and in any kind of soil, but responding quickly to liberal treatment and good care. For 
the very best results, the bed should be thoroughly and deeply spaded, and a generous amount of well-decayed 
manure or any commercial fertilizer, thoroughly incorporated. Watering the plants frequently throughout the 
season, leads them to grow more rapidly, and produce a much more luxuriant foliage, and larger and more beautiful 
flowers. When you water them, do it thoroughly. For best effects plant in masses, using one or two colors; 
setting the plants between eighteen inches and two feet apart each way, and from four to six inches deep. 
If you wish to plant a bed 7 feet in diameter, it will require 20 roots or plants; a bed 10 feet in diameter will 
require 40 roots; a bed 13 feet in diameter requires 65 roots. In planting a circular bed, always plant the taller 
variety in the center, with the more dwarf around the outside. 
SPECIAL CANA OFFER. For beds from 5 to 7 feet in diameter; I will send 15 Cannas, my selection, 
5 tall of one variety for the center and 10 shorter of another variety for the outside. In making this selection, 
I will use my best judgment as to blending of colors, and endeavor to give you those I believe will give you best 
satisfaction. Prepaid to any part of the United States or Canada for $3.00.

best red in commerce. The immense trusses of flowers are borne well above the foliage on upright stems. 
It grows about four feet in height, and is a mass of color, making it very desirable for the most exclusive 
gardens. I can highly recommend this variety, and to all who wish the best red Canna for their bed, I believe
