 Seven Cannas offered below are my own seedlings: 



Florentine. A magnificent Canna. The very large flowers are frequently 

 semi-double — an intense rich crimson color. It grows about 4^ feet high, and 

 when crowned with its enormous spikes ot brilliant flowers is handsome enough 

 to tempt any one. 20 cts. each.

 Very large, handsome flowers. 20 cts. 



The Rival. A seedling from Madam Crozy, double the size of the parent flower,

 parent. 20 cts. each. 



Flaranta. A beautiful Canna, with very handsome, dark foliage streaked with

 stems which are closely set with bloom, each stem being really a bouquet in 

 itself. 10 to 25 cts. Clumps, 50 cts.

 son, almost approaching scarlet when it opens, changing to a deep, dazzling 

 crimson as the flowers fully develop. 15 to 25 ets.
