I feel that I must say a word in regard to the Wintzer’s Colossal Canna 
Bed. I only wish someone from your firm could have seen it. It was beauti¬ 
ful and the flowers bloomed constantly until a few days ago.—Mrs. L. H.,

How to Grow Cannas 
Plant a glowing bed of Cannas this 
year and have magnificent tropical bloom 
from June till frost. 
In. Washington, thousands of C. & J. 
Cannas are planted yearly on the public 
grounds because , for lawn display, they 
are the brightest, grandest, most satis¬ 
factory flowers to be had. See prices for 
beds on page 27. 
Dormant Canna roots may be started 
indoors during March or April, but should 
not be set out until weather is settled and 
the ground warm—usually May or June 
in this latitude. When planting dormant 
roots, do not set too deep. The eye should 
show a little through the ground when 
done. Plant in good, rich garden soil 
mixed with one-half of old, rotted stable 
manure. Set them about 18 inches apart 
each way. Water sparingly the first two 
weeks after planting; when growing freely, 
water liberally.
