CANNA— Indian Shot Plant. 



These are particularly desirable for our hot and dry summers. 



The very great improve- 

 ment obtained of late years 

 in this class of ornamental 

 plants, consisting of large 

 foliage, beautifully shaded 

 with various bronzy tints, 

 together with the richly col- 

 ored flowers of more than 

 double the size of the old 

 varieties, makes it very 

 desirable. The roots can 

 easily be wintered in a dry 

 cellar. 



The following list has been 

 selected as the best from a 

 very large coll'ection of new 

 and old varieties. 



25 cts. $2.50 per dozen.
