CANNA MADAME CROZY. 
This is probably the finest and most distinet variety yet 
introduced. The flowers are of the largest size, of a daz- 
zling crimson scarlet bordered with golden yellow. 
The plant is of vigorous growth, yet dwarf in habit, sel- 
dom exceeding four feet in height. The foliage is of a rich 
cheerful green and yery massive ; the flowers are produced 
in large branching stems, which are closely set with bloom, 
each stem being really a bouquet in itself. 
It is a remarkably free-flowering variety. Small plants | 
set out on the 10th of June were in full bloom on July 15, 
when only eighteen inches high, and continued in full 
flower un:il cut by frost in October. Cut flowers exhibited 
by us last season were admired above all others. Our 
stock of this grand novelty is limited, and orders will be 
filled in strict rotation.
