CUIiTXTRE. — The soil can hardly be too rich and porous. Equal parts manure, loam and sand, with a 

 little peat, form best mixture. Plants must be kept in a growing temperature of sixty degrees. Liberal 

 supplies of manure water are of great benefit. Always when growing keep well watered. 



ALPHONSE BOUVIER. 



This is the grandest of all Cannas for out- 

 door bedding. It is a -very luxuriant grower in 

 good ground. It begins to bloom very early 

 and is one continuous mass of crimson the en- 

 tire season. The tips of the shoots are sur- 

 mounted by immense clusters of bright crim- 

 son flowers of the very largest size, and noth- 

 ing can excel their brilliancy. 



CHARLES HENDERSON. 



Glowing crimson color, but of dwarf haDit, 

 growing about three feet in height and bear- 

 ing its immense, compact heads of bloom 

 erect and well above the foliage. The form 

 of the flowers is very fine indeed, well opened 

 and of good substance, standing the sun well. 



FLORENCE VAUGHAN. 



Conceded by all who have seen it to be the 

 finest yellow spotted Canna. Flowers are 

 veiy large, of the most perfect form with 

 broad, overlapping petals nicely rounded at 

 the ends. Color brilliant yellow, spotted 

 with bright red. A strong, robust 

 grower, and flowers very freely. 



FLAMINGO. 



Flowers four inches in diameter, 

 with almost flat face, forming a 

 spike of glowing crimson color, once 

 seen not soon to be forgotten. Very 

 free, a plant often bearing three or 

 four trusses at a time, and may al- 

 most be termed ever-blooming from 

 beginning to the end of the season. 



J. D. CABOS. 



A strong grower, leaves lanceo- 

 late, green, strongly shaded with 

 purple, flower stalks numerous, flow- 

 ers large and round, color a rich ap- 

 ricot, with deeper shadings. Very 

 striking. 



EGANDALE. 



Without the least hesitation we pronounce this the best of all 

 dark-leaved Cannas for bedding that has yet come under our 

 notice. Flowers are of good size, and borne in compact heads, 

 and in such profusion that a bed of them is a perfect mass of 

 color unequaled by any other sort. The color is a deep currant- 

 red, of 'a peculiar and pleasing shade, and different from any 

 other. 



PALL MARQUARD. 



The individual flowers are large, and the flower spikes are 

 very large, each flower standing out separately by itself. The 

 flower is as fine as the finest Orchid. The color is a bright 

 salmon, with a carmine tint. 



AUSTRIA. 



MADAME CROZY, 



The color is a brilliant vermilion-scarlet bordered with deep 

 golden-yellow. The flowers are borne in greatclusters,and in such 

 profusion that they crown the plant with a blaze of glowing color.

AUSTRIA. 



The new Orchid-flowered Canna. The flowers are truly gigan- 

 tic in size, the three upper petals spreading fully seven inches, 

 and the form is really semi-double. Toward the inner part the pet- 

 als show fine crimson spots. All the rest of the flower is of a most 

 beautiful, rich canary-yellow. The plant is a very strong grow- 

 er, five to six feet high, with leaves with a texture like rubber. 



PAPA CANNA. 



Monsieur Crozy claims this variety as his finest variety to date, 

 and it certainly is a grand addition to the already gorgeous array 

 of reds. It is not quite three feet high. It bears immense spikes 

 of flowers, the florets being of the grandest size and finest form. 

 Color pure red. Very graceful in habit. Foliage light green. 

 Produces a mass of bloom. 



MAIDEN'S BLUSH. 



The only absolutely pure pink Canna in existence. Elegant. 



ALSACE. 



The white Canna. Opens light yellow, and turns to a creamy 

 white. It is indispenable where contrast is necessary. 



QUEEN CHARLOTTE. 



Flowers are very large. They are borne in immense heads., 

 well above the foliage, and are most striking in color. A bright 

 orange-scarlet, deeply edged with bright canary-yellow. 



ITALIA. 



The gigantic flowering Canna. This kind produces the larg- 

 est flowers which have been obtained as yet in the way of 

 Cannas. Above the perfect foliage emerge numerous elegant, 

 gigantic and wonderful spikes of flowers. The outer netals 

 are scarlet, with a very broad, golden-yellow border. The 

 inside of the blooms is scarlet and dark red. Exceedingly beau- 

 tiful.
