CANNAS 



Buttercup. 



Brandywine. 



We offer the dry roots only, and make shipments, weather permit- 

 ting, from January till June. 



Canna roots, or tubers, more properly speaking, on arrival should 

 be placed in shallow boxes, and started in sphagnum or other green 

 moss, thoroughly watered and allowed to remain until they have 

 grown 6 to 9 inches high, then placed in pots, or the open ground, if 

 danger of frost is past. 



Real bright buttercup-yellow ; large handsomely 

 formed flowers in fine <)|)en trusses; always clean 

 and l>ri;.;ht. It bleaches less in sunshine than an\- yellow t'amia, and, 

 like I'hiladelphia, it sheds the old flowers, thus leaving the trusses 

 always bright and fresh. We can reconunend it as the very best yel- 

 low Canna. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100.
