BODDINGTONS ^yUCltl^ BULBS 113 BODDINGTON^S QUALITY CANNAS We are recognized, in the trade, as being headquarters for Cannas, and endeavor to send out only tlie finest, most up-to-date and use- ful varieties for tliis beautiful decorative plant. '1 his year we are reducing our list in this catalogue to conform to the above central idea, to offer to our customers only what we consider Quality in Cannas—if, however, you should miss an old favorite, we could doubtless supply it, but it is probably superseded in the following varieties. Canna roots, or tubers, more properly speaking, on arrival should be placed in shallow boxes, and started in sphagnum, or our pre- pared fiber, thoroughly watered and allowed to remain until they have grown 6 to q inches high, then place in pots, or the open ground, if danger of frost is past. Late in the season we can supply started plants from 3K-inch pots, at a sliglitly advanced price.
