Ladies' 



Corsage 

 tions. 



Carna- 



Carnations that burst their calyx 

 are not considered of value by flor- 

 ists, but there are many with large 

 open flowers, daintily fringed, that 

 are beautiful for corsage wear. Pin- 

 ned to the dress they show the face 

 of the flowers, and are really better 

 for the purpose than those that look 

 up at the wearer instead of facing 

 the spectators. I am induced to of- 

 fer them by the admiration they re- 

 ceive from those who see them. La- 

 dies exclaim: "Why! we never see 

 such Carnations as these; they are 

 perfectly magnificent!'"

 rich scarlet imaginable.

New, Large, Flowering 

 French Cannas. 



The most valuable bedding plants 

 introduced for years, ffiving a bril- 



liant show from April to December. 

 They send up continually large 

 spikes of brilliant, gladiolus-shaped 

 flowers, giving splendid effects, if ad- 

 vantageously used. I give below a 

 list of some beautiful novelties. 



Ehemanni Guttermanni. 



A very rare sort, not offered in the 

 east, owing to its scarcity. A seed- 

 ling from Ehemanni. with splendid 

 foliage, and large spikes of large 

 drooping fuchsia-like flowers of a 

 soft salmon pink; very stately — 8 to 

 10 feet. Good strong roots, 50c, 

 75c and 81 each; clumps, 81.50. 



Ehemanni. 



An old sort, but unequalled for 

 tropical effect, for flowers and foliage 

 are alike beautiful: of the same 

 stately habit as the above, flowers a 

 charming carmine. 20c; clumps 50c. 



Ventura. 



A most beautiful and showy va- 

 riety of my own introduction, with 

 graceful spikes of splendid laige 

 flowers of a rich blending of carmine 

 and scarlet: strong, robust grower 

 and fine bloomer: a grand Canna. 

 20c each: 82 per dozen. 



"Madame Crozy. 



A splendid Canna. The color is 

 brilliant vermillion, bordered with 

 deep golden yellow : the flowers are 

 borne in great clusters and in such 

 profusion that they crown the plant 

 with a blaze of glowing color. The 

 foliage is vivid green, broad and mas- 

 sive: the habit of the plant is com- 

 pact and vigorous, its natural height 

 being rarely more than four feet. 

 Strong roots. 20c each: 82 per dozen. 



Canna Camdlus or "Candelbra" 

 Canna. One of my seedlings. Very
