 perfect shape, with broad petals, and of a bright glossy 

 yellow color,Hhickly spotted with crimson.

 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.

 late foliage.

 tled bright orange.

 and splashed with orange.

 deep carmine lake, sea-green foliage.

 als blotched with golden yellow.

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.
