THE FIRST IMPRESSION. 



WHEN making a delivery the first impression is made by the box. 

 Of course the flowers contained in it cannot fail to please, but 

 you did not make the flowers. Your contribution toward the perfec- 

 tion of the whole is the box. A well made, neat and attractive box is 

 the only means you have to impress your connection with the tran- 

 saction, so why not make the box your opportunity to impress your 

 name on the memory of those who receive the flowers?

CANNA TESTS.

 vellow that is wonderfully effective. 

 We believe it will become one of the 

 dozen most i)opular oannas in time. 



California is not truly variegated, but 

 has such a milifiling of f;old, bronze and 

 red that it gives the appearance of 

 l)eing of more than one color. We find 

 this old variety one of tlie most attrac- 

 tive for bordering beds of either red or 

 yellow cannas. It is not yet superseded, 

 by any means. 



' As to Gladioflora, we think more of 

 it every year we see it grow. The 

 mingling of red and yellow is so good, 

 the habit of growth and freedom of 

 bloom are so nearly i)erfect, and the 

 bright appearance of the bed is so strik- 

 ing tliat we can easily overlook the 

 fact that the flowers are not so large as 

 some of the newer varieties. 



A Strong-Growing Orchid Type. 



Mrs. Karl Kelsey is one of the strong- 

 est-growing, largest-fiowcred and freest 

 of the orchid-llowercd type. The flow- 

 ers are decidedly striped with several 

 shades of red, orange, etc. It is one 

 of the tallest of cannas, but, after all, 

 it will never be popular, for the color is 

 not pretty. We have not yet found one 

 ])erson who picked it as one of the 

 dozen best, though it has a ])lace, espe- 

 rially in borders, where it lights up the 

 shrubbery that is out of bloom. Of 

 course it is not hardy. 



Perhaps it is out of i)lacc to mention 

 our own seedlings here, but we have 

 two seedlings of Gaiety which we be- 

 lieve to be of real merit. One has the 

 same size of bloom and the same gen- 

 eral habit of flower, though it is not so 

 good a multiplier. But in color it is 

 one of the cannas that instantly at- 

 tract attention, it is a deep, velvety 

 red with a nasturtium tint, and is wide- 

 ly bordered with pure yellow. The 

 other seedling is, in color, between a 

 «oral and a shrimp pink, bordered with
