BULBS FOR SPRING PLANTING 
GANNAS 
T he gorgeous flowers and splendid foliage of the Ganna are gaining for it greater popularity each season. No lawn or 
park seems complete without its tropical leaves and its mammoth flower spikes that are a mass of bloom from July 
until frost. Our list contains only varieties of merit. 
CULTURE.—Although astonishing success with Gannas will often be had under most unpromising conditions, they re¬ 
spond so luxuriantly to care that it is well worth while to take a little trouble at the start. The bed should be spaded 
to a depth of at least'a foot, an abundance of well-decomposed manure worked in, and the roots set four or five inches 
under the surface. The “blazing” effects for which Gannas are so famous are best secured by the use in masses, with 
the roots set not more than two feet apart—dwarf kinds being set even more closely. All Gannas love water, and in dry 
seasons blooming will be much more profuse and constant if the soil be kept always moist. In the South, planting may be 
done as early as the last of March, but if early bloom is wanted, the best way is to start them in pots under protection, 
transplanting to the open ground when danger of frost has passed. Unless taken up before freezing weather, the roots 
should be covered with litter for the winter.
