ANDORRA NURSERIES, 
NEW DWARF FRENCH CANNAS. 
MADAME CROZY. Flowers flaming scarlet, bordered with gold, a marvelous 
combination of colors, having all the delicacy and beauty of the rarest orchid. This Canna 
is one that everyone can succeed with, as it will grow in the open ground as readily and 
easily as the common varieties of Cannas, which have been so largely used in sub-tropical 
gardening. These plants produce all the wealth and richness and the tropical luxuriance 
of foliage of the common kinds, added to which is the gorgeousness of their flaming panicles 
of bloom, which are borne in immense heads at the terminus of every shoot. They pro¬ 
duce a very much greater effect than 
gladiolus, being much larger. In 
order to give an idea of the large size 
of these flowers we have had a paint¬ 
ing made, showing the actual size of 
the flowers and their beautiful color¬ 
ing ; we will be pleased to send this 
free to any one who may not have 
received it; it is no exaggeration 
whatever, giving the actual size and 
the vivid and beautiful coloring of 
Mine. Crozy. When the large size 
of the flowers is taken in connection 
with the freedom with which they 
bloom, it makes one of the most 
attractive plants for bedding that it is 
possible to conceive of. The best 
new Dwarf Canna. 
STAR OP *91. More dwarf 
than Mme. Crozy, and valuable on 
this account. A mass of scarlet when 
in bloom, but the individual flowers 
are nothing like as perfect as Mme. 
Crozy. It is an elegant pot plant, 
and will bloom in the house in the 
winter splendidly, for which purpose 
it is admirably suited. As a pot plant 
for florists’ sale it bids fair to eclipse 
anything that has been offered for 
years, as its attractiveness and ease of 
culture, certainty of doing well, etc., 
make it a plant a florist can recom¬ 
mend, knowing it will please the 
, MADAME CROZY CANNA. 
buyer. 
GEOFFREY ST. HILAIRE. By far the best of the dark-leaved varieties among 
the new seedling Cannas. It will be appreciated by all lovers of rare and valuable plants. 
Flowers light salmon-scarlet. 
FRANCOIS CROZY. This variety is identical with Mme. Crozy in habit and 
general style of growth, but the flowers are bright orange, bordered with a narrow edge of 
gold, one of the most desirable shades that can be secured. The plants are somewhat 
more dwarf than Mme. Crozy, and are fairly covered with flowers. 
Never in the history of the trade have new plants created so great a sensation or so 
many plants sold at a high price as these truly remarkable new Cannas. 
Extra strong plants, in pots, 50 cents each; $5.00 per dozen.
