FOR SPRING PLANTING. 



CANNAS. 



FEW flowering plants combine so many fine qualities as the 

 modern Canna — a race of sub-troDical bulbous plants, of 

 most easj- culture, rapid reproduction, and good keeping 

 qualities. The floral world has been astonished by their lux- 

 uriance of foliage and gracefulness of bloom, which is of im- 

 mense size, borne in large masses and trusses, combining in 

 color the brightest and richest shades of yellow, red, orange 

 and scarlet, bringing them to the front as the finest ornamental 

 plant in commerce. Useful for garden, greenhouse or sitting- 

 room.
