 attains the height of three feet, and is the freest flowering of all the family. During summer and "fall it 

 is one mass of yellow, forming a golden ball three feet in diameter. Single specimens among shrubs, 

 hollyhocks, gladioli, etc., have a very fine effect. Of easy cultivation; one of the hardiest of'anuuals.

 forming bushy plants nine to twelve inches high, each branch loaded with bell-shaped, unwithering 

 flowers of creamy yellow color. A branch in flower is most suggestive of a spike of Lily of the Valley.

 Hybrid Flowering Cannas. Seed started in gentle heat will produce plants which will yield a pro-
