For a profusion of large, dazzling flowers through the hot 
summer months, plant Cannas. Their stately habit, strong fol- 
liage and gaudy colors produce a rather tropical effect. Excel¬ 
lent for flower beds and as a summer screen for unsightly objects 
They produce a good effect singly or in small groups in the 
hardy border, or among shrubs. 
For a circular bed take a stake and string and mark a circle 
18 in. from center or 3 ft. across. Lengthen the string 18 in. 
for each circle. Set 1 plant in the center, 6 in the first circle, 
12 in the second, 18 in the third, and so on. It requires about 
37 plants for a bed 9 feet across, and at least a foot all around 
should be allowed for growth of foliage. Plant when you plant 
your garden, in a sunny situation in good, rich, mellow garden 
soil, 18 in. apart. Not hardy; must be stored over winter. 
Parcel Post. Allow 15c per doz., 20c for 2 doz., for Mis¬ 
souri and adjoining states.

Viscountess Shembroke Dahlia makes a dainty bouquet 
HDahlias for QAutumn flowers 
Dahlias are easily grown and give an abundance of flowers 
in early autumn. The decorative type have large, broad petals 
in rather flat heads; the show type have numerous, short stiff 
quilled petals; the cactus have long narrow, usually twisted 
petals. The size given in inches is the diameter under ordinary 
field conditions. They can be grown larger with special care 
and disbudding. Not hardy; must be stored over winter. 
In the central and southern states the summers are too hot for 
good Dahlia flowers. Plant late (about May 15 here) to have 
them blooming during the cooler autumn days. Lay the tuber 
flat, the eye or sprout upward. When three pairs of leaves are 
formed, pinch out the top pair to make them branch low.

6 or less, lc for each additional.
