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.
