" ' 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 aTi 
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. 1
