FOR GORGEOUS EFFECT, GROW CANNAS. 
CcinnSlS. 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 Sumfuer months ; they arc also fine for conservatfiry decoration, 
and can be kept flowering during the Winter. 
Gannas are entirely free from insects and disease. After flowering they may be treated simi- 
larly to Gladioli or Dahlia tubers. 
During Winter and until March they are supplied as dry tubers ; after March, as growing 
plants.
