CANNAS 
Without doubt, Cannas are the most 
desirable and satisfactory bedding plants 
for summer effect; a bed of a solid color 
or well contrasting varieties planted in 
lines, gives a most beautiful effect during 
the entire summer, and until the tops are 
killed by frost. 
To attain the best results, the beds or 
borders in which you propose to plant Can* 
nas should be thoroughly manured, as Can¬ 
nas are very heavy feeders, requiring an 
abundance of plant food and wat-r. If you will remove the flower-head as soon as they have finished 
blooming, you can thereby keep your plants continuously in bloom. 
Follow these directions and your Cannas will be a source of great pleasure to you during the summer 
and fall months.
