CANNAS 
The modern Cannas with their splendid foliage 
and large, gorgeously colored flowers surpass all 
other plants for massive beds and heavy borders. 
They are very easy to grow, thriving best in a sunny, 
well-drained spot. For extra-large plants and heavy 
foliage effects, the soil should be well manured. Dig 
the bed deep and plant the roots after the middle of 
May, setting them about 4 inches below the surface 
and I yi to 2 feet apart, depending on variety, the 
tall sorts requiring more space than the dwarf. The 
plants will bloom continuous'y from July until frost. 
If the roots are started in March in pots or boxes 
of sandy soil placed in a sunny window and given 
plenty of water, the plants will be several inches 
high when it is time to set them outdoors, and they 
will come into bloom a month to six weeks sooner.
