PETER HENDERSON & CO’S QUARTERLY TRADE LIST OF PLANTS. 11 
THE NEW FRENCH EVER-BLOOMING CANNAS. 
Are now among the most popular of all bedding plants and deservedly so 
No plant is more easy of culture 
—growing and flowering in almost any soil or situation from the time of planting out in May or June until cut 
down by frost in late fall. If desired, they may be lifted and put in large pots or boxes, and kept in bloom 
during the entire winter in green house or window garden, for they are never out of bloom when kept growing. 
For beds or lawns, or in front of shrubbery, nothing is so desirable, as their glowing colors of crimson, yellow,

scarlet and orange can be seen at a great distance.
