^sNEV DWARFS 



Llarge Flowering Breach (Zannas 



{A few varieties are shown on the front cover of this Catalogue.) 

 A new class of Cannas, introduced by Monsieur Crozy, a successful growe 



and improver of these magnificent plants. The foliage is luxuriant and varied 



in color, and the plant dwarf in habit, averaging not over 



3 to 4 feet in height. Their great merit, however, lies in the 



large size and dazzling and brilliant hues of the flowers, 



ranging through all shades of yellow and orange 



to the richest crimson, scarlet and vermilion ; some 



are also beautifully spotted. Seed sown in a hot-bed 



or green-house from January to April will produce 



flowering plants in July. HHP. (See cut.) Per Pkt.
