CANNAS 
Cannas are the 'tallest and 
bulkiest of all bedding plants. 
Their foliage serves to conceal 
the ground or back^ound, and is 
of itself attractive in rich shades 
of green, bronze, red and choco¬ 
late. The surmounting flower 
trusses are uniformly large, free 
and brilliant. 
Cannas will grow in any kind 
of soil and most any location, but 
to obtain fullest development and 
reward, they should be given an 
open, sunny location and the soil 
enriched with well decayed ma¬ 
nure. Dig up about 2 feet deep; 
set roots 18 inches apart; and 
give plenty of water.

Dahlias are not particu¬ 
lar as to the soil or loca¬ 
tion. Although maximum 
growth and bloom reward 
the full sun, some of the 
stronger sorts develop most 
perfect specimens in par¬ 
tial shade; and localities 
with a moist atmosphere or 
dewy nights are apt to give 
better results than a drier 
air. Frequent cultivation 
prior to their blooming sea¬ 
son is absolutely essential to 
real _ success. Time for 
planting varies according 
to climate, but is safe after 
all danger of late frost is 
past. Tubers should be 
planted 6 inches deep, laid 
flat, eyes or sprout up. Al¬ 
though good lively tubers 
are apt to produce more 
stalks, started plants give 
practically an equal amount 
and quality of bloonu We send out tubers (root division) 
until supply is exhausted; after which orders are filled 
with started plants, at same price.
