CANNAS—Large Flowering 
For a brilliant show all Summer there is no plant excelling the Canna. It even surpasses the Geranium in its gor¬ 
geous display of brilliant colors, blooming continuously from the time of planting until cut down by frost. As Cannas 
are good pot plants either for Summer or Winter flowering, they may be lifted and potted in the Fall before the ap¬ 
proach of frost. Grown in this way, they are ready to continue their~good work without disturbing the plants.
