Among yellow-banded Cannas of the Crozy group, Canna ‘Queen Charlotte’, of last year, took a leading position. But the specialist has been at work in the mean time, and will introduce Canna ‘Little Billee’ as an improved seedling from Queen Charlotte. It is dwarfer and said to be superior for massing. Under glass it certainly is a most attractive variety, and, compared with Queen Charlotte, it is slightly deeper in tone.
