The Cannas are stately plants, 
with broad green, highly orna¬ 
mental leaves. There are sev¬ 
eral varieties, the leaves of 
some being entirely green 
while in others the leaf-stem, 
mid-rib and veins are red. 
Some kinds grow four to five 
feet in height, while others are 
only about threefect. Inacold 
climate, seed must be sown 
under glass, and it is well to 
grow the plants in pots, so as to 
get them of good size before 
planting in the garden. In au¬ 
tumn take up the roots, keep in 
sand, and plant next spring.

isfaction that we have put the price low to encourage all 
to plant.

great many beautiful and popular 
Perennials, like the Canterbury 
Bell, and also a number of an¬ 
nuals of great value for forming

CASSIA. 
Cassia chamaicrista is a very good 
annual indeed, with pretty, light green 
foliage, like the Sensitive Plant, and 
plenty of bright, golden yellow flowers. 
It is of dwarf, compact habit, about 
eighteen inches in height, has the ap¬ 
pearance of a little hard-wooded shrub, 
and makes a very pretty border. — 
It is a native of this country, 
and entirely worthy of culture. We 
judge from the demand made upon us 
for seeds by European seedsmen that 
it attracts considerable attention there.
