Large-Flowering Cannas 
No other bedding- plant could be found to g-ive the same 
results in our varied climate; they do well in any sunny 
position and in any kind of soil. For best results, plant

riched with well-decayed manure. Water sparingly for 
first two weeks after planting; thereafter water liberally. 
For best effect, plant in large masses of one color, setting 
plants two feet apart.
