Brilliant Cannas 
No plant can take the place of the Canna. For a 
handsome and showy display, they are unrivaled. 
This is so on a large lawn where an extensive plant¬ 
ing is desired, ami also on a small plot where there 
is room for only two or three plants. The rich foli¬ 
age is a pleasant sight all summer, while the bril¬ 
liant flowers add just the necessary touch of gor¬ 
geous colors. Set the roots 18 to 24 inches apart 
each way. The richer the soil the larger the plants 
and flowers will be.
