New Large-Flowering Dwarl Frencti Gannas. 
The Most Satisfactory Bedding Plant for the American Garden. 
Ten years ago Mons. Crozy, of Lyons, France, introduced a few varieties of the 
large-flowering Dwarf French Cannas, and never was a plant introduced into Ameri- 
can gardens which attained such rapid popu- 
larity as this type of Canna. The few varieties 
fixst introduced have multiplied into an inuuin- 
erable'list, the cream of which 
we have selected, and after 
thoroughly testing them in our 
western climate, we now offer 
our customers the following list 
of the best new varieties in their 
several distinct colors. 
Alba rosea grandiflora. 
Might properly be called the 
Orchid-flowered Canna. Color 
delicate cream, with rose shad- 
ing ; free flowering and distinct. 
20 cts. each, 6 for $ I, 12 for $2.
