CANNELLS’ FLORAL GUIDE, 1912. 
Cannas (Dwarf). 
INDIAN SHOT. 
The^ give a \'ery beautiful and tropical a^spect to pleasure grounds, by their stately growth and broad 
massive foliage, relieved by rich crimson, scarlet, orange, or yellow flowers during the Summer months ; their 
foliage, comprising various shades of rich green, glaucous and chocolate-crimson leaf-tints, tits them admirably 
for effective groups, their appearance rendering them a striking contrast to other plants. 
They are also invaluable tor large pot plants as portable specimens in pleasure-ground decoration and 
e<iually so for Summer groups in large conservatories, in which their great diversity of foliage appears to advan- 
tage, and they are very ornamental for any purpose. The following are the Viest for conservatory, porches or 
standing in tubs, pots, etc. ; about a garden they are grand objects, and for beds or single clumps, arc the finest 
flowering varieties of this family we ever had.
