Carinas in Quantity for Massing 
The wonderful colorings and blendings we have in our modern 
Cannas were never dreamed of a few years ago.. With the intro¬ 
duction of many new varieties each year the popularity of this 
flower is steadily increasing, and much interest is being taken in the 
planting of Canna beds. 
For the convenience of those who are at a loss what varieties to select 
we make special offer of the best sprts in separate colors. If desired, we 
will select tall, medium and low-growing varieties for arrangements in beds. 
Dormant roots of Cannas should be potted in 4 or 5-inch pots or planted 
in shallow boxes in March or April, and kept in a warm place to start them into 
growth. The started plants may be planted out about May 20th to June 10th 
in the vicinity of New York; earlier in the South; later in the North. They should be 
set about 18 inches apart. 
Price, dormant roots, $15.00 per 100. Not less than 25 sold at the 100 rate.
