For bold, striking color effects, Cannas are among the most 
popular of Summer bedding plants. They bloom throughout the 
Summer and continue until cut down by heavy frosts. Set the 
plants about 2 feet apart in well-fertilized soil and water plenti¬ 
fully. For particularly fine blooms, apply liquid manure at 
regular intervals throughout the flowering season. 
The Cannas we offer are plants in growth, out of pots, and not 
dormant roots. May 15 delivery.
