NEW FRENCH CANNAS. 
There has been nothing ottered in recent years 
that possesses such real and intrinsic value and 
merit, and that appeals to so many buyers, as 
the new C'annas which we have the pleasure of 
offering to our customers this season. When 
the large size of the flowers and the large heads 
of blooms are taken in connection with the free- 
dom with which it blooms.it makes one of the 
most attractive plants lor bedding that it can 
be possible to conceive of. The other new vari- 
eties here offered are all equally desirable, and 
in presenting to our customers those, varieties 
we are offering something which, while com- 
paratively expensive, are well worth the cost, 
and we know no one will regret purchasing.
