If not wanted for wimer flowering they should be lifted in the fall, the tops cut oft and the tul)ers wintered in a dry cellar, or some other place free from frost. Varieties producing strong tubers maybe wintered dry in the same wav potatoes or Dahlias are, but varieties like JIad. Crozy or Star of '01, which jiroduce very small tubers or "eyes," are more safely wintered in a box of soil. Cannas, Star of '91 and Flaccida will be found offered on page 6.
