36 Catalogue of Cottage Rose Garden, Columbus, Ohio. " CROZY'S DWARF FRENCH HYBRID CANNAS WONDERFUL iimprovements have been shown in this plant the past few years and every season adds some striking novelties. Our col- lections this year are far ahead of any- thing offered before, and embrace the finest European introductions of this sea- son. The spikes of large flowers somewhat resemble the Gladiolus, but their much more brilliant colors show grandly against the tropical foliage, which seldom exceeds four feet in height; the flowers range in ' color from the deepest crimson, orange scarlet and salmon to light yellow, many being beautifully mottled and streaked. They are certainly one of the grandest ad- ditions to our decorative garden plants made for many years, and must be seen to be fully appreciated. They bloom from July till frost, and if taken up and potted before cold weather will continue to bloom in the conservatory nearly all winter, for which purpose they are particularly well adapted on account of their dwarf habit. The following are some of the very finest and showyest varieties of recent introduction: Alphonse Bouvier—As fine a variety in its color of soft, bright cardinal red, as is Mme. Crozyamong the orange-scarlets; the truss is enormous, composed of quan- tities of flowers; spikes freely produced; a magnificent grower; produces a mass of brilliant red. Price, 30 cents.
