CATALOGUE OF BULBS AND PLANTS.

LARGE FLOWERING DWARF FRENCH CANNAS. 
Our Cannas are all started plants ; not dry bulbs. 
The appreciation of 
the improvements in 
Cannas shown by the 
public, has resulted in 
increased effort being 
made to still further 
enhance their value as 
ornamental plants. We 
know of nothing so 
effective in foliage or 
continuous in flower as 
these new Dwarf French 
Cannas. They are very 
popular, and they are 
certainly entitled to a
