CANNAS - - Finest 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS: Plant in May when 
danger of frost is over. Place the bulbs about 3 to 4 
inches deep. Water freely after plants have started. 
Cannas do best in a sunny place. In the fall, after 
frost has killed the tops, cut off a few inches above 
the ground, and before the ground freezes remove the 
clumps to a cool but frostproof place in the house for 
winter storage. Put clumps upside down, so that 
moisture in the stalks does not cause rot in the bulbs. 
A Canna bud is an attractive sight, and we furnish 
you good bulbs that are sure to bloom the first year. 
In round beds put the tall varieties in the center, the 
low growing kinds in the outside row—we recommend 
the showy yellow Burbank for the outside row. The 
balance of the bed, that is the inside rows, should be 
of the medium varieties. For the center use three 
plants. Plant 12 to 18 inches apart. 
5 to 6 feet tall, when blooming.
