PLANT CANNAS IN LATE SPRING when 
the ground is warm, 15 to 18 inches apart 
each way. Set the roots 2 to 3 inches deep 
in rich, mellow soil in a sunny location. 
An application of Ra-Pid-Gro shortly be- 
fore the blooms start will increase the size 
of the flowers. In the fall when the frost 
has killed the tops, dig immediately. Ex- 
pose them to the sun for a few hours so 
that roots will dry off. then store in a 
cool place, buried in Peat Moss or sand 
to prevent drying or shriveling.
