impossibility. Of the dwarf varieties, the following list 

 is all that can be desired : 



C. Childsi (The Tiger Canna). — The plants begin 

 to produce flowers when only two feet high and continue 

 blooming very freely till frost. It can also be flowered 

 in pots during winter and is very beautiful. The flowers 

 are borne in large compact panicles, are of large size and 

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

 yellow color, thickly spotted with crimson. 



Antoine Crozy. — Flowers deep crimson, light 

 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. 



Edouard Andre. — Deep carmine flowers, choco- 

 late foliage.

 orange, deep metallic green foliage.

 tled bright orange. 



J. Cardioux. — Flowers brilliant cardinal red.

 and splashed with orange.

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.
