4 feet. Another step in the march toward a 
perfect white bedding plant. Hereis a Canna 
of crystal brightness. When grown in a row, the mass-effect of 
snowy whiteness tempted us to call it Snow-Queen. There 
was another reason. Just as you have noticed the opalescent, 
rosy hues among the crystals in the snow, so here a close 
examination reveals faint flashes of fairy pink spots, though 
the effect is white. The flowers are large, 6 inches across, with 
rounded petals 2% inches broad and of firm texture. They 
are borne well above the luxuriant green foliage on erect, 
branching heads in large clusters. See illustration, page 36.

well- poised heads of rich crimson bloom. Average- sized 
flowers, but a color combination as yet unmatched. Plants,
