'THE 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 exist- 

 ing sorts. When new varieties of merit are 

 brought oat 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 sueli as are usually sent out do not give 

 satisfaction; tlierefore we offer strong, well-rooted 

 plants from pots. "We guarantee every plant to grow. 

 Note.tlie lo^v prices. "' 



-Strong growing plants from pots, amply foliaged and well 

 rooted. 15 cts. each (except where noted); 4for50cts. ; 

 9 for $1 ; $1.35 per dozen, postpaid.
