Dingee Magnificent Ever- 

 blooming Cannas 



The introduction of these wonderful decorative plants in 

 this country is so woven into the history of West Grove 

 that it is known far and near as the home of magnificent 

 plants. Starting back many years ago when we first intro- 

 duced the Canna Flamingo, at that time considered the 

 finest flower of the kind, and when Dr. Van Fleet, now con- 

 nected with the Horticulture Department at Washington, 

 was in our employ. Since that time wonderful improve- 

 ment has been obtained in the development of new varie- 

 ties, such as increasing the size of heads, and individual 

 flowers, the color of the blooms, the size of the plants and 

 the length of the blooming period, all of which has in- 

 creased the popularity of the gorgeous flowers. Cannas 

 are easily grown, and will thrive in almost any situation. 

 Any kind of soil seems to suit them, either light or heavy, 

 fertile or poor.
