GANWNAS. 
The Canna has long been considered an almost indispensa- 
ble plant for flower garden or lawn embellishment. So 
popular have they become, and so thoroughly are they 
adapted for bedding purposes, that every summer thousands 
of them .are’planted in all the parks, cemeteries and private 
places in the country. A more gorgeous sight can scarcely 
be imagined than the many great masses of them of all col- 
ors we frequently see. The flowers are produced in great 
clusters throughout the entire summer. Following our 
usual custom, we this year offer a very carefully selected 
assortment, each variety being the acknowledged peer of 
its kind.

the heights and colors given in the descriptions of varieties no difficulty need be ex~ 
perienced in making a selection; but as a future help, when requested, we will con-
