(farinas 'fBloorn from fune till tyrost 
From latter June till frost Cannas give a profusion of large, 
dazzling flowers. Their stately habit, strong foliage and showy 
colors make them excellent for formal beds and as a summer 
screen for unsightly objects; they produce a good effect singly 
or in small groups in the hardy border or among shrubbery. 
For a circular bed take a stake and string and mark a circle 
18 in. from center or 3 ft. across. Lengthen the string 18 in. 
for each circle. Set 1 plant in the center, 6 in the first circle, 12 
in the second. 18 in the third, and so on. It requires but 37 
plants for a bed 9 feet across, and at least a foot all around 
should be allowed for growth of foliage. Plant when you plant 
your garden, in a sunny situation in good, rich, mellow garden 
soil, 1 8 in. apart.

'Dahlias for cfAutumn Flowers 
Dahlias are easily grown and give an abundance of flowers 
in early autumn. The decorative type have large, broad petals 
in rather flat heads; the show type have numerous, short, stiff 
quilled petals; the cactus have long narrow usually twisted pet¬ 
als. The size given in inches is the diameter under ordinary 
field conditions. They can be grown larger with special care 
and disbudding. 
In the central and southern states the summers are too hot 
for good Dahlia flowers. Plant late (about May 15 here) to 
have them blooming during the cooler autumn days. Lay the 
tuber flat, the eye or sprout upward. When three pair of leav¬ 
es are formed, pinch out the top pair to make them branch low.

“There should be a pool in every garden,” said Mr. Edgar 
Rice Burroughs, famous author of the Tarzan stories. “I have 
always had as many as space permitted. Children learn so much 
from pools. The birds come for drinks, and the children 
learn to know them. Pollywogs hatch and turn into frogs. 
Water-lilies bloom generously. And the ground around a pool 
lends itself to such interesting plant growing.”—Better Homes 
H Gardens, August, 1931.
