XVI. Canna Roots. 



In order to offer something special to our friends with whom we are in regular business connection, we have had 

 a colored plate made (29 X 18 inch.) of 20 of our most beautiful Orchid-flowering Cannas representing the flowers 

 in their natural size or rather below it. These varieties are marked 9 in our list. This heautiful plate will he sent free of 

 charge to all our customers, and to others on receipt of 6d. 



We only send out strong, sound and undivided roots grown in the open ground, and not delicate and poor specimens 

 obtained by unnatural forcing in the het-house, a good number of which is invariably destined to perish. Our Cannas wilt there/ore 

 be always preferable even at higher prices to atiy others. They are packed very carefully and travel quite safely even to very distant 

 countries; rue wish it, however, to be understood that they travel on buyer's risk. Canna Roots can be forwarded from October to 

 May, as far as the temperature permits it.
