CANNAS. 
Carinas are very useful for massing in beds where a tropical effect is desired. They 
should not be planted outside until danger of frost is over. One of the best ways to raise 
Cannas in this climate is as follows: Dig out the soil from the bed desired to a depth of 
about 2& feet, then fill in about one foot of fresh horse manure, loose. Tramp this down 
and till in the soil, rounding up the center of the bed. The Cannas can then be planted 
in such a manner as to produce a mass effect. They should have plenty of water dur¬ 
ing warm weather. Prices, except where noted, for bulbs or plants, are 20c each: 52.00 
per dozen, postpaid If required earlv in the season we send bulbs; later we send plants.
