IN THE FRONT YARD. 255 



rain storms liave no effect upon them, leaving them 

 bright and fresh, when other varieties have been knocked 

 to pieces. It is a fine, strong, healthy gi'ower of moder- 

 ate height. InTo variety compares with it in any way 

 for a constant, continuous display; it is perfectly safe 

 to say that it showed six times as many flowers for the 

 same amount of space as any other variety in our fields. 

 Wherever it was planted, it stood out prominently 

 among the best. Many canna experts who have visited 

 our trial grounds invariably pronounce Tarrytown un- 

 questionably the finest of all bedding cannas introduced 

 up to this time. It cannot be praised too highly. It is 

 as much ahead of all other cannas today for bedding 

 as Mme. Crozy was ahead of all its contemporaries at 

 the time of its introduction. '^N'otwithstanding the fact 

 that this variety has been offered for four years, the 

 demand for it last season exceeded the supply. 



Rosemawr — A grand pink variety. Rich shade of 

 soft rosy pink, slightly dappled with deep rose. One 

 of the freest-blooming cannas that we have, either in- 

 side or out. Flowers are very large and of good shape, 

 with broad, well-rounded petals, frequently two inches 

 across and uncommonly thick and of good substance,

 about three feet in height. A wonderfully fine acquisi- 

 tion; no up-to-date collection is complete without it. 

 It occupies the front rank among cannas of any color.
