BODDINGTON^S QUALITY CANNAS 



We are recognized, in the trade, as being headquarters for Carinas, and endeavor to send out only the finest, most up-to-date and use- 

 ful varieties for this beautiful decorative plant. This year we are reducing our list in this catalogue to conform to the above central idea, to 

 offer to our customers only what we consider Quality in Cannas — if, however, you should miss an old favorite, we could doubtless supply it, 

 but it is probably superseded in the following varieties. 



Canna roots, or tubers, more properly speaking, on arrival should be placed in shalloiV boxes, and started in sphagnum, or our pre- 

 pared fiber, thoroughly watered and allowed to remain until they have grown 6 to q inches high, then place in pots, or the open ground, if 

 danger of frost is past. Late in the season we can supply started plants from 3^ -inch pots, at a slightly advanced price.
