impossibility. Of the dwarf varieties, the following list 
is all that can be desired : 
C. Childsi (The Tiger Canna).—The plants begin 
to produce flowers when only two feet high and continue 
blooming very freely till frost. It can also be flowered 
in pots during winter and is very beautiful. The flowers 
are borne in large compact panicles, are of large size and 
perfect shape, with broad petals, and of a bright glossy 
yellow color, thickly spotted with crimson. 
Antoine Crozy.—Flowers deep crimson, light 
green foliage. 
Emile Leclerc.—Flowers golden yellow, mottled 
crimson and scarlet, deep green foliage. 
Admiral Courbet.—Flowers light yellow, speckled 
and blotched with orange scarlet, light green foliage. 
Edouard Andre.—Deep carmine flowers, choco- 
late foliage. 
Flamboyant. — Flowers crimson lake shaded 
orange, deep metallic green foliage. 
G. Couston.—F lowers light primrose yellow, mot- 
tled bright orange. 
J. Cardioux.—Flowers brilliant cardinal red. 
Louise Chretien.—F lowers clear yellow, speckled 
and splashed with orange. 
Mme. de Liabaud.—A grand variety; flowers 
deep carmine lake, sea-green foliage. 
Revol Massot.—F lowers carmine red, lower pet- 
als blotched with golden yellow. 
Ulrich Bruner.—F lowers orange red, lower petals 
striped yellow, deep green foliage. 
As flowering plants, the dwarf varieties, Crozy’s 
Cannas, are the most desirable. But for the sub-tropical 
garden, some of the taller growing sorts, particularly 
those with bronze leaves, are by far the most effective.
