UR fields of New American Pedigree Cannas are the wonder and admiration of all who see them in 
bloom. Leading experts and noted flower growers from many different parts of the United States pro- 
nounce them absolutely unequalled in magnificent beauty, either in this country or Europe. We ex- 
tend a cordial invitation to all our friends and customers to come and see them at their convenience. They 
are at their best during July, August and September, but we usually have some of the finer sorts in bloom 
under glass nearly all the time. 
They Require no Special Treatment These magnificent Cannas will grow 
and bloom finely in any good ordinary 
soil no special treatment is required, though they like plenty of sunshine and moderate moisture, and shovld 
not be set out till ground is warm, as they cannot bear much cold. They bloom constantly all summer and 
fall, and may be left in the ground till killed down by hard frost. If you wish to keep them over winter, 
cut off the tops and lift the roots, leaving a good portion of the earth on, and stand upright in a warm, ligut 
cellar—they may be quite dry, but cannot stand much cold or wet. When ground is warm in spring, divide 
the roots carefully, leaving only two or three eyes to each, and plant out as soon as ready.
