HOW TO PLANT 
A ROUND BED 
A round bed 7 ft. in diameter 
requires 19 Cannas planted; 18 
inches apart each way; one in 
center; six in first row; twelve in 
outside row. Ten feet—37 plants, 
one for center; six for first row, 
twelve for second row, eighteen for 
third row. Thirteen feet—61 
plants, one for center; six for first 
row, twelve for second row, eight¬ 
een for third row, twenty-four for 
fourth row. Center of bed should 
be 4 to 6 inches higher than the 
level of the lawn. 
A border planting of Elephant’s

leaves is most effective. (See page
