Gannas Make Attractive Beds 
CANNAS 
The most popular of all bedding plants making a 
brilliant and effective show during the entire Summer 
until late Fall. They produce large, conspicuous cluS' 
ters of orchid'like flowers in the widest range of gay 
and bright colors, with a rich tropical foliage in green 
or bronze shades. They are most effective when planted 
in masses of one variety. 
CULTURE. No other class of tender bulb is so easily 
giown. They succeed in sunny positions in any kind of 
soil and respond quickly to liberal treatment. Gannas 
are gross feeders and for best results the beds should be 
spaded deeply, using a generous amount of welbdecom' 
posed manure and bone meal. Plant the dormant roots 
when the ground is warm, spacing them 2 feet apart 
and set them with the “eye” just above the ground. 
They may be started in pots and later transplanted out' 
side to give earlier blooms.
