438 , Cannas (Indian Shot) — Owing to the seeds being so very 
hard (hence the name of Indian Shot) occasionally con- 
siderable time elapses before germination takes place. We 
• obtain good results by putting the seeds in a tin box, 
covering them with water, and then placing it upon the hot 
pipes or in a propagating frame, and as the outer covering 
is broken by the germs starting into growth, so the seedlings 
are removed to small pots, and kept in a temperature of 
about 70 to 75 degrees, and from then onwards they will be 
found of easy culture, hhp. For full collection of best 
named varieties that can be supplied as plants, see Floral
