SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS 
LARGE* FLOWERING CANNAS 
For planting in beds, by the porch, along the fence, no other plant is more effective and as easy to grow if the 
soil is well prepared. The earlier the roots are started, the better. There are hundreds of varieties of Cannas; if 
I listed them all you would have difficulty in selecting them, so I am offering you here twelve of the best of them— 
six tall and six dwarf. I know you will be wonderfully pleased with all of them.
