handsome and distinct flower. Eather tall grower with 

 beautiful foliage. Free bloomer. 



Souv. de Mme. ^ardj — A beautiful mottled variety 

 — bright golden yellow, heavily spotted with the most 

 intense scarlet. The variegation is similar to that of 

 Florence Vaughan, but the colors are much deeper and 

 brighter. It is entirely distinct • from Florence 

 Vaughan and is one of the most beautiful variegated 

 cannas ever raised. Tall grower. 



Pres. Max Michelli — This is the finest and largest 

 flowered of all the dark-leaved varieties. Bright orange- 

 scarlet, shaded carmine, with bright carmine splashings. 

 FlowTrs are as large and fine as any of the green- 

 leaved cannas. Dwarf grower. 



Admiral Avellan — A fine dark-leaved canna. An 

 exceedingly free and early blooming variety, being a 

 mass of color all summer. Deep orange, much darker 

 than J. D. Cabos. Fully as free a bloomer as Egan- 

 dale and considerably taller. 



Alphonse Bouvier — One of the earliest, showiest, and 

 freest blooming varieties grown today. Tall groAver; 

 under good cultivation grows from seven to eight feet 

 high. The heads of bloom are of the largest size, bril- 

 liant scarlet crimson; very effective. 



Alsace — The only white variety; the nearest ap- 

 proach to a pure white canna yet introduced. Flowers 

 at first are a light sulphur yellow, changing to a rich 

 creamy wdiite. Flow^ers are not so large as some, but it 

 is an immense bloomer, being loaded with blossoms all 

 through the season.
