HOW TO PLANT AND GROW 
C. & J. Pedigree Cannas 
Up until May i, we send out our Cannas in Dormant Roots, 
except the new kinds which we offer only in potted plants. After 
May I, we aim to have all kinds ready in potted plants. Price, 5c. 
each more than Dormant Roots. 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.
