HOW TO PLANT and GROW C. & J. IMPROVED CANNAS 
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.
