CANNAS 



HE Canna is a specialty with us. No 



plant is so responsive as the Canna 



to hybridization, hence each year great 



numbers of new varieties are thrown on 



the market, many of which are inferior to 



existing sorts. When new varieties of merit 



are brought out they are added to our collection, 



but not until we are satisfied that they are better 



than varieties already listed. The Canna is easily 



grown, attaining large size in ordinary soil. For 



Summer blooming they are unequaled. They are not hardy. Plant 



after all danger of frost is past and take up again when the 



tops are killed by frost and store away in a cool, dark place. 



Heighth when full grown is indicated after each variety. 



Dormant roots such as are usually sent outdo not give satisfaction ; therefore we offer strong, 

 well-rooted plants from pots. We guarantee every plant to grow. Note the low prices. 

 DDipC • Strong growing plants from pots, amply foliaged and well rooted, 15 cts. each 

 IDIUL . (except where noted); 4 for SO cts.; 9 for $1 ; $1.35 per dozen, postpaid.
