Scientific gardening has reached an epoch when sub-tropical or Leaf Gardens tn any part of the three 
kingdoms are no longer a' chimera. It is simply a question of the right place for the plants, the tight plants fear 
the' place, and the treatment necessary to ensure suecess. In this style of gardening, the Canna must necessarily 
take the prominent position : possessing, as it does, large picturesque foliage, varied both in form and colour, 
with a chasleness yet boldness <f outline peculiar to itself and which renders it an equally pleasing assocm^^^^ 
either with shrubs or flowers. Although we have alluded to the foliage only of these plants, >l be forgotten 
that ’heir d.r.tters are very decorative, rising conspicuously, as they do, from amidst the amplitude of leaves. 
A i ofCaiiiias is easily secured by sowing the seed early in spring in a strong moist heat, and the plants will 
be dei r a-: v.t!:' first season ; or the seed may be sown later to form rhizomes for another year. . ^ 
The following -.-arieties are a selection of those most recently introduced, and we are glad of thus having the 
c‘>prre‘unitv affo""-cd of Hjjcring some important additions to the Cannas now cultivated in this country.
