BUCHANAN’S CANNA BULBS 
No other bedding; plant will give the same uniform good results in our varied and trying 
climate. They do well in all sections of the country and stand pre-eminently at the head 
of the list, succeeding in any sunny position in any kind of soil, but responding quickly to 
liberal treatment. For best results the beds should be spaded two feet deep and a generous 
amount of well-decayed manure of any kind thoroughly incorporated, and at all times 
supplying water freely. Plant in large masses of one color, setting out tubers two feet apart.

One of the most delightfully fragrant and beautiful of the 
summer-flowering bulbs. By skillful management a suc¬

early flowers they can be started in February or March in

planted at intervals as late as July. For flowering in the 
open border, plant about the middle of May, or as soon as 
the ground becomes warm.
