THE CANNA is a specialty with us. No plant is so responsive as the Canna to hybridiza- 

 tion; 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 al- 

 ready listed. The Canna is easily grown, attaining large size in ordinary soil. For summer 

 blooming they are unequalled. 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. Height 

 when full grown is indicated after each variety. 



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. 

 PRICE: Strong growing plants from pots, amply foliaged and well rooted, 15 cts. each (ex- 

 cept where noted); 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1; $1.35 per dozen, postpaid.
