Scientific gardening has reached an epoch when sub-tropical or Leaf Gardens in any part of the three 

 kingdoms are no longer a chimera. It is simply a question of the right place for the plants, and the right plants 



for the place, and the treatme7it necessary to ensure success. In this style of gardening, the Canna must neces- 

 sarily take the prominent position: possessing, as it does, picturesque foliage, varied both in form and colour, 

 with a chasteness yet boldness of outline peculiar to itself, and which renders it at cmce pleasing to the most 

 fastidious-, and an equally agreeable associate with either shrubs or flotvers. 



Although we have alluded only to the foliage of these plants, the flowers arc by no means to be despised ; 

 indeed, some of them are exquisitely beautiful. 



A stock of Cannas is easily secured. Sow the seed -early in spring, in a strong moist heat, and they will be 

 decorative the first season ; or sow them later, and they will make nice rhizomes for another year.
