 " TARRYTOWN." We have none for sale. Price of this BRAND-NEW 

 ONE will be given on application. 



" ' TARRYTOWN.' — This variety is one of the very finest cannas for bedding coming 

 nearer the ideal in this respect than any variety that has ever been introduced. It is a 

 very dwarf grower, at the same time, vigorous, with fine healthy foliage, is a wonderfully 

 free bloomer, and has the remarkable quality of holding the flowers apparently perpetu- 

 ally, the blooms lasting two or three times as long as those of any other variety, standing 

 wind and rain without any apparent injury, coming out bright and fresh after a heavy 

 storm, when other varieties look rough and ragged. The flower spikes are thrown up 

 in a solid mass as if sheared, making it a fine, compact, massing variety. It is entirely 

 distinct from any other canna in color, being a brilliant cherry-red very similar to 

 Egandale, but much more brilliant. We had a large quantity planted for , trial this 

 season, together with other varieties, and it came into flower earlier than any other 

 variety. From the earliest time in the spring until late fall, it was the showiest of all 

 our cannas, standing out prominently and conspicuously among the very finest varieties, 

 so that visitors at a distance would exclaim, ' What canna is that?' No canna in our trial 

 grounds this year has proved so satisfactory an all-round bedding variety as ' TARRY- 

 TOWN.'"— F. R. Pierson, N. Y. 



" ' TARRYTOWN ' is one of the gems in its color, a brilliant cherry-red with fine 

 branching heads. The flowers come in early and freely and have remarkable lasting 

 qualities. It is a dwarf, vigorous grower, with fine healthy foliage." — Florist's Exchange. 



" ' TARRYTOWN.' — This variety comes as near the ideal for a bedding canna as 

 any variety that has been introduced. In color it is entirely distinct, being a brilliant 

 cherry-red, similar to Egandale, but more brilliant. It is a dwarf, sturdy, vigorous, com- 

 pact grower, with fine healthy foliage, and an exceedingly free bloomer, the blooms 

 lasting longer than many other varieties. They, when past their prime, leave the flower 

 spike clean. The spikes of flowers are borne in dense even masses, and one of its valuable 

 characteristics is the fact that wind and rain seem to have no effect on the flowers. It 

 also comes into flower with the earliest varieties. From the earliest time in the spring 

 until late in the fall, it presents a showy and conspicuous mass of blooms." — C. W. Ward. 



" One of the most imposing cannas this season and which has proved its great value 

 as a bedder, is ' TARRYTOWN ' — a cherry-red flower, borne well up above dark green 

 foliage. The old flowers drop away clean and the spikes stand the weather well. As an 

 individual flower spike, when cut, the variety is not so telling, but as a bedding variety, 

 of medium height, it has no equal at present." — Florist's Exchange. 



" I saw * TARRYTOWN ' at Riverton, two weeks ago, where rain has been badly 

 needed; every leaf stood upright, fresh and green, while many other sorts near and 

 alongside of it were badly wilted. It's a fine canna indeed and will stay with us." — 

 Florist's Exchange. 



"The originator of the finest cannas ever introduced." — Martin J. Abney, Athens, Ga.
