Canna, The President 
M.-S. SUPERFINE CANNA BULBS 
In almost every private garden, in all pub¬ 
lic parks and in most of the large cemeteries, 
Cannas are used with the greatest effect to 
adorn the surroundings. It is difficult to 
convey in language an idea of the beauty of 
the Canna plant and flower. 
Culture —Canna tubers should not be put 
into the ground until the soil has become 
warm. Start indoors middle of March. They 
commence blooming in June and continue 
until frost. Every shoot bears flowers and 
these shoots are being constantly produced 
throughout the blooming season. 
The heights given for Cannas are as the 
average in the nurseries. This height may 
vary, depending on soil, weather and climatic 
conditions. 
Note —Our prices are for dormant roots in 
strong divisions of 2 and 3 eyes. After May 
1st, our stock of roots is usually sold, at which 
time we can fill orders with plants of some 
varieties.
