Bloom This Year 
A BED of my large flowering Cannas will give you a 
mass of gorgeous color. They are easy to grow. I 
tell you how. 
Plant in May in good garden soil. Water sparingly at 
first until they start growing: then water liberally. Set the 
plants 18 inches apart each way with the tall growing kinds 
in the center and dwarf ones along the edge. 
I tell you how high each one grows so when planting in 
groups you can place the tall ones at the back and the 
smaller ones in front. ^Hungarla 
These large, vigorous, dormant, outdoor nursery grown 
bulbs will give you immense quantities of flowers this year.
