Gannas for the Florist 
You, no doubt, can recall years ago when Cannas were one of the principle items used for bedding purposes. In spring 
seasons there were immense quantities sold both in the dry root form and later on in 3 inch pots. In recent years the demand 
again became very lively for good Cannas and they are now vei’y popular for bedding purposes. 
There are many things that can be said in favor of Cannas. After planting, they will make a very quick growth and 
start flowering in the month of July, continuing until cut down by frosts. After a few freezings, they can be dug, placed in a 
dry basement and held over until the following spring. 
We have selected a short list of desirable varieties, fully covering the color range. These will be ready for shipment any 
time throughout the winter. If you sell bedding plants, you can puichase these roots from us, pot them into 3 inch pots and 
develop nice plants. When grown this way, they command a good retail price. By having them in pots, you can also extend 
your spring selling season, including the month of June. We believe that you will find the Cannas a worthy) addition to your 
list of bedding plants. 
Our Canna roots are grown by an expert under the proper condition to produce thei very best quality. 
You may buy 25 at the 100 rate, 250 at the 1000 rate.
