 "Sunbeam Collection" of 12 New Cannas. 



Alphonse Bouvier — This grand and luxuriant variety gTows 5 to 8 feet. Tips 

 of shoots surmounted by immense clusters of brilliant crimson flowers of largest 

 size. For bedding" or as specimen plant it is unequaled. 



Bur-bank, New Giant American Canna— Grows about 5 feet tall, and 

 bright green foliagre. The flowers are truly gigantic in size, the upper petals 

 spreading - out fully seven inches and the form is really of a semi-double nature. 

 Toward the inner part of flowers the petals show fine crimson spots, all the rest 

 of the flower is a beautiful, rich, canary yellow. 



Charles Henderson— Flowers of largest size. Color, a wonderful rich crim- 

 son, center penciled with gold. Owing to dwarf habit this makes a perfect pot 

 plant. Invaluable for outdoor bedding. 



Egandale — Best of all dark leaved Cannas for bedding. Flowers borne in 

 compact heads and in great profusion: unequaled by any other sort. Color, deep 

 currant red of a pleasing shade, different from any other. 



Flamingo— The color is a solid crimson, without spot or blemish; whether 

 grown indoors or out, it is constantly surmounted by a crowning glory of perfect 

 blooms, whose sparkling brilliancy is as bright as the plumage of the Flamingo 

 bird. Foliage a luxuriant deep green and tropical like. Price, 15 cts each. 



Florence Vaughan— Superb habit, flowers borne in grand spikes; broad 

 rounded petals, well expanded, showing the richly brilliant colors, golden yellow 

 dotted with brightest scarlet. 



Mile. Berat— The nearest approach to a pink in a first 

 class bedder. Color, a soft shade of rosy carmine. Many of 

 those heretofore offered, as pink, while very pretty in the indi- 

 vidual flower, have a "washed out" appearance, both on the 

 single plan or when planted in masses. In this variety how- 

 ever the.larger the mas the finer the effect and when planted 

 in conjunction with yellows and high colored reds it is simply 

 superb. Green foliage. The height is four feet. Price, 15 

 cents each. 



Madame Crozy— Luxuriant foliage, flowers borne in im- 

 mense heads at the end of every shoot. Petals wide, broadly 

 rounded ; color, deepest vermillion, bordered with gold. 



Paul Marquant— Flowers large; enormous spikes. The 

 color might be called a bright salmon with carmine tint, with 

 a silvery lustre which glistens and glows in different lights. 

 To some it appears the fashionable apricot shade which is 

 now so popular. 



Queen Charlotte— The finest of the gilt edged type, with 

 heavy bluish green foliage; enormous flower spikes bearing a 

 beautiful bouquet of large flowers of perfect form: a velvety 

 blood red, broadly banded with a bright canary yellow. 



Secretaire Chabanne — A beautiful orange, with deeper 

 shadings. In this variety the color is so rich and pleasing as 

 to be entirels' distinct, and while it is valuable for planting as 

 a separat specimen or in masses by itself, its greatest value 

 consists in massing it in conjunction with other high colored 

 sorts, with which it not only harmonizes, but appears to inten- 

 sify their color. Height is about four feet. Green foliage. 

 Price, 15 cts each. 



Sunbeam— Owing to its immense size, splendid finish and 

 great substance of its flowers, it is bound to become the most 

 popular Canna ever introduced.The flowers are a brilliant gol- 

 den yellow color, dotted with bright orange scarlet spots. 

 Handsome and very bright green foliage. 15 cts each.

 ORANGE.

 dwarf, compact grower; glossy, 

 deep green foliage; producing a

 ers'of delicious fragrance; identical 

 with the much-sought-for blooms 

 of the Southern orange groves. 

 Fruits immediately after flower- 

 ing, bearing fruit about one-half 

 the size of an ordinary orange, re- 

 taining in a marked degree their 

 sweetness. Unequaled as a Winter 

 blooming pot plant for house cul- 

 ture; of easy culture. Flowers and 

 fruits when but twelve to fifteen 

 inches high; most novel pot plant. 

 Price, 10 cents each; large, 

 strong plants, ready to bloom

 40 cents each. 



The Wonderful 

 New Lemon. 5 



PONDEROSA, 



CKfOTHIKG that has ever been brought to our notice in the plant line has*caused half 

 Cj\ the commotion that this wonderful Lemon has. It is a true ever-bearing variety. 

 V» On a plant six feet high no less than eighty-nine of these ponderous Lemons were 

 growing at one time. It was a beautiful sight to see. The tree was blooming, and at the 

 same time had fruit in all stages of de- 

 velopment, from the size of a pea up to 

 the ripe fruit, showing it to be a true 

 ever-bearer. Fruit has been taken from 

 this tree weighing over four pounds. 

 Added to its fruiting qualities, this Won- 

 derful new Lemon makes a grand speci- 

 men plant for house culture and a prize 

 winner at every fair and flower exhibi- 

 tion. The dark green foliage is very 

 large, aromatic and handsome. The 

 flowers are pure waxy white, with yel- 

 low stamens and pistils, nearly as large 

 as a tube rose and as highly fragrant as 

 orange blossoms. The lemons have a 

 very thin rind for such large fruit. It is 

 the juicest of all Lemons, makes delic- 

 ious lemonade, and for culinary pur- 

 poses can not be excelled. It is not un- 

 common to make twelve lemon pies 

 from one lemon. I have a very large 

 stock of this ponderous Lemon and guar- 

 antee the trees to produce the same 

 large fruit. No budding or grafting 

 necessary. Pouderosa Lemon is sure to 

 become popular when it is known. It 

 fruits when quite small and makes a 

 lovely house plant. Everybody can grow 

 their own lemons. It will fruit freely 

 the second year. 



PRICE— For good young plants, 

 15 cents each, 4 for 50 cents ; 

 large plants 50 cents each. 

 Extra large plants for fruit- 

 ing this season, 51.00.
