BOLGIANO'S 

 Selected Named Dwarf French Cannas. 



In the following list of named varieties of Cannas we have taken special pains 

 to select only those varieties which have commended themselves for possessing the 

 highest development in size of bloom, form, color and growth, discarding all those 

 which have shown any weak points or that have been superseded by newer and im- 

 proved sorts. We do not hesitate to say that every Canna here offered possesses 

 merits that will make the grower of the same more than usually pleased with the 

 flowers produced.

 by fast freights (let distance be no hindrance in 

 ordering.)
