2>CANNAS,_LARGE-FLOWERING FRENCH. 
In this new class of Cannas we have something of pronounced merit for bedding— 
either in rows or large clumps—and for winter flowering in 
pots they are of scarcely less value. The foliage is luxuriant 
and the plants dwarfin habit. Their great merit, how- 
ever, lies in the large size and brilliant hues of the 
flowers, ranging through all shades of yellow and 
orange to the richest crimson, scarlet and ver- 
milion; some are also beautifully spotted. 4 
Seed sown in hot-bed or greenhouse from 
January to April will produce flowering 
plantsin July. (See cut.)
