The best of these were used by a French florist in originat- ing a new and improved class, the vari- eties of which are the most gorgeous and stately bedding plants in cultiva- tion. The foliage is massive and trop- ical in growth, and the flowers of the most brilliant colors surmount it in great plume-like heads. I offer seeds in mixture of all the finest named varieties, yellow, scarlet and crimson, margined and spotted, and those who wish seeds of a superior quality will find these just what they want. They are all fresh and genuine, not adul- terated with the older sorts, and wi! . large-flowered plants. No flower with which I am acquainted will give better satisfaction or greater pleasure than these Cannas, and I urge tbeir culture. Price per packet 10 cents, or three packets 25 cents. Crozy's Canttas.—There is no disput- ing the utility of these Cannas. They are undoubtedly splendid acquisitions, and rapidly superseding the tall kinds once grown largely in gardens. They are good conservatory plants, being quite at home when associated with Palms and Ferns* The newer kinds have remark- ably fine flowers, the segments broad and splendidly colored, the outcome of pa- tient work on the part of M. Crozy.—The English Garden. Mr. Park:—My bed of New French Can- nas is grand. The plants are thrifty and the flowers rival the finest Gladiolus. A thins: of more gorgeous beauty and grandeur can scarcely be conceived.—D. BE.
