Cannas. 
Gladiolus-Flowered Varieties. 
The spikes resemble Gladioli, and the brilliant colours show grandly against the tropical-like 
foliage; they bloom continuously during summer. The foliage comprises shades of rich green, 
glaucous, and chocolate-crimson tints, giving a beautiful tropical aspect to pleasure grounds. When 
planted in groups on lawns, or in centres of beds — in warm or sheltered situations — they form 
effective objects during the Summer months ; they are also fine for conservatory decoration, and 
can be kept flowering during the Winter. 
Cannas are entirely free from insects and disease. After flowering they may be treated similarly 
to Gladioli or Dahlia tubers. 
During Winter and until March they are supplied as dry tubers ; after March, as growing 
plants.
