Cannas. 



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 throv.Ti on the market, tnany of 

 which are inferior to existmg 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. Our 

 collection comprises the best varieties in Commerce. The 

 Canna is easily grown, attaining large size in an ordinary 

 yard or garden 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 in the 

 Fall and store away in a cool, dark place. 



Dormant roots such as are usually sent out do not give satisfaction; therefore 

 we offer strong, well-rooted plants from pots. We guarantee every plant to 

 grow. Note the low prices.
