Cannas. Stately and highly ornamental plants, growing from five to ten feet high; and form- ing one of the most beautiful and striking objects for the lawn and for large circular beds. Cannas should be planted early in spring in rich soil, deeply dug and heavily manured. The roots should be preserved in dry sand d uring the winter. Brenningsi—Broad green leaves, orna- mented with broad bands of yellow. Dr. Gromier—Dark green foliage; large, deep crimson flowers. Ehemanni—The most distinct of all Can- nas, on account of its large, oval, soft green leaves and carmine-red flowers, which are produced on long flower stems, each stem producing from 12 to 15 large, drooping flowers. The flowers are as large as gladiolus, and are used to ad- vantage in boquet making. This is one of the most striking and desirable Can- nas ever introduced, and cannot be too highly recommended. Flaccida—This beautiful little native, found in the swamps of Florida and other southern states, is one of the most ef- fective of all Cannas for gardens. The flowers are three or four inches long, and are a delicate lemon yellow color, with a peculiar crimped or waved margin, giving a most pleasant effect. It blooms nearly a month earlier than the other Cannas. Gigantic—Perhaps the best of the tall grow Cannas. Leaves very large and of a reddish color; flowers crimson red. One of the most rapid growers. They have a decidedly striking CANNA "GIGANTIC"—Six Feet High. Nouttoni—Is quite distinct from Ehemanni in coloring, being a rich shade of crimson scarlet. The flowers are very large, growing erect instead of drooping. The foliage is of a beautiful bluish-green, growing very compact, and remarkably free-flowering, forming nearly solid masses of rich, warm coloring
