CANNAS 
The gorgeous flowers and splendid foliage 
of the Canna make it particularly desirable 
for beds or borders. They require rich soil, 
and the roots should be planted 4 inches deep, 
leaving at least a foot between each root. In 
the latitude of Norfolk they can be put out as 
early as the last week in March. Cannas re¬ 
quire lots of moisture, and in dry seasons 
should be kept well watered.

GIANT EXHIBITION DECORATIVE DAHLIAS 
This flower has been so much improved in recent years that no 
garden seems complete without it. Especially is this true of the 
type known as Decorative Dahlias. 
Culture: They do best in rich soil and plenty of sun, but will 
grow in any good garden soil, and in almost any location except¬ 
ing one very shady. The bulbs or tubers should be planted from 
the last of April to the first of June, about 4 inches deep and 30 
in'ches apart. An inch-square stake, 6 to 7 feet long, should be 
stuck a foot into the ground when the roots are planted, and the 
plants tied to it when about 2 feet high.
