CURRIE BROTHERS FARM AND GARDEN ANNUAL. | 
CANNAS. 
The Canna has long been considered an almost indispensible plant for flower 
garden or lawn embellishment. So popular have they become, and so thorough- 
ly 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 colors we frequently see. The flowers are produced in great clusters 
throughout the entire summer. From a list now so lengthy as to be almost con- 
j 
fusing, we this year, following our usual custom, offer a very carefully selected 
assortment, each variety being the acknowledged peer of its kind.
