IMPOSING, DECORATIVE CANNAS 
Very decorative and ornamental plants, especially suitable for beds, groups and edgings in 
large gardens and parks. In smaller gardens they achieve a remarkable effect in front of 
hedges. The large green or brown foliage forms an ornament in itself and its beauty is 
enhanced by the very luxurious flowers of delicate colors. They flower from August until 
October and grow to a height of from 32 to 40 inches. Cultivation: The Cannas should be 
planted immediately in nutritive soil under a cold frame. If a cold frame is not available, 
simply press 4 boards in the soil (2 inches deep) and cover this with glass. As soon as the 
buds "are developed sufficiently (beginning of June) they should be moved to the appointed 
spot with the clods of earth intact. This spot must be sunny and well-manured “ 
rather deeply at a distance of about 16 inches. per 3

LOVELY OXALIS (Four leaved Clover) are most inexpensive 
bulbs, the flowers make nevertheless, a charming appearance in the garden, where beautiful 
edgings can be made with them round beds and along borders. The most attractive feature 
however is the light green, very close growing foliage, similar in shape to a four leaved 
clover, above which a mass of bright carmine pink flowerets on very thin steins soon appear. 
Cultivation : The little bulbs are placed about l’/i to 2 inches apart, just below the surface 
of the soil. They can endure a great deal of sun and grow quickly in dry, not over-rich soil. 
In sunny places however, watering is necessary. Kor indoor cultivation, plant them closely 
together in pots, and you will enjoy their beauty for a considerable length oltime.
