IN____ 
FULL BLOOM? 
I T is a most gorgeous and impressive sight—above the luxuriant tropical foliage there rises a beautiful 
mass of oriental flowers, whose immense size and intensely brilliant colors combine to make it the 
most handsome, most ornamental and, at the same time, most satisfactory bed one can plant. We 
recommend the following combinations for planting in beds. May be had either in dormant roots or 
potted plants. The latter, as a rule, make quicker and more uniform growth, but must be sent by 
express at purchaser’s expense. We expect to have potted plants ready for shipment soon after April 10th. 
DIRECTIONS EOR PLANTING CIRCULAR BEDS—Plant one Canna in centre of bed and the next six Cannas 
18 inches apart in a circular row around the centre; each Canna in first circle should he 18 inches away from the centre. 
Make each succeeding circle 18 inches farther away from centre than last one was, and use six more Cannas than was in 
the last circle. Abed thus planted will contain one Canna in the centre, six in the first circle, twelve in the second circle, 
eighteen in the third circle and so on, all 18 inches apart.
