NEW FRENCH CANNAS. 
Too much cannot be said in praise of these magnificent 
flowering plants. They are of dwarf habit, averaging 4 
feet in height, with luxuriant and richly-colored foliage. 
Their great merit, however, lies in the large size and 
dazzling hues of the flowers. They resemble, but far ex- 
cel, the Gladiolus in brilliancy of color, ranging through 
all shades of yellow and orange to the richest crimson, 
scarlet and vermilion; some are also beautifully spotted.
