ee ANN AS, Large Flowering Wrench. 
In this new class of Cannas we have something of pronounced merit for bedding—either in rows or large 
clumps—and for winter flowering in pots they are of scarcely less value. The foliage is luxuriant and the 
plants dwarf in habit. Their great merit, however, lies in the large size and brilliant hues of the flowers, 
ranging through all shades of yellow and orange to the richest crimson, scarlet and vermilion ; some are 
also beautifully spotted. Seedsown in a hot-bed or greenhouse from 
January to April will produce flowering plants in July. (See cut.)
