C annas. 
I am offering this season some of the best orchid-flowered Cannas of re¬ 
cent introduction. _, 
The Way to Plant Cannas—Set them about 18 inches apart each way, and 
about 4 to 6 inches deep. If you wish to plant a bed 7 feet in diameter it 
will take 20 roots or plants. If you wish to plant a bed 10 feet m diameter 
it will take 40 roots or plants; a bed 13 feet in diameter will take 65 roots. 
Always plant the tall varieties in the center, if you are to make a round 
bed, plant the short ones on the outside of the bed.
