New Lilliputian 
Ganna “Little Gem” 
This makes a compact mass of handsome green 
leaves surmounted by a wealth of brilliant orange- 
scarlet flowers, edged with brilliant yellow. The 
height rarely exceeds two feet, so that its value for 
edging, for centers of low beds, for planting in her¬ 
baceous borders, or for pot culture is apparent. An 
early and continuous bloomer. (See engraving.) Price, 
dormant roots, up to April 1st, 15c. each, $1.50 per 
doz. Growing plants, after April 1st, 20c. each, $2.00

“The Pres. McKinley Cannas we ordered from you last 
year were a little slow at first but finally turned out fine

with them." W. G. WATSON, Rochester, N.Y .
