JAMES WOOD. aay - : 
We have pleasure in offering 
this fine new Canna, raised by 
Alexander Marshall, gardener 
to Mr. John B. Dutcher, Pawl- 
ing, N. Y., and was named by 
the latter gentleman in honor 
of his friend, Mr. James Wood, 
CANNAS. 
Caprice. Pink and white. 
Petals creamy white, heavily 
of Mount Kisco, N. Y., Presi- 
dent of the Eastern New York 
Horticultural Society. The 
color is very distinct, being a 
true burnt-orange, the shade 
so popular at the present time. 
It is handsome in foliage and 
habit, blooms most profusely, 
grows in ordinary seasons 
about four to four and one- 
half feet high. Thesubstance 
of the petals is one of its ex- 
celling merits; the flowers, 
though large and of fine finish, 
hold on better than most Can- 
nas, and so withstand the 
summer winds. These two 
latter features are very pro- 
nounced in this fine newCanna.

stalks. The three upper segments pale lemon-yellow, feathered, 
in centre only, with rose spots on pink ground. Lower petal is 
rich yellow with a distinet and hold design of velvety amaranth red. 
Duke of Marlborough. This is decidedly the darkest and rich- 
est colored Canna in existence. The flowers are a deep, rich crim- 
son maroon with a velvety appearance and good substance, the 
almost black buds and very close head giving it a still darker look. 
Duchess of Marlborough. This is of much stronger growth 
than the Duke, the leaves being over 3 feet in length and a foot wide. Itis a 
most conspicuous and attractive Canna, producing immense, branching spikes, 
often expanding 250 flowers on a single flowerstem. The color is a pure rich pink, 
)__ and being produced in such immense quantities the effect is certainly grand and 
ix unique.

Cannas on this page, all growing plants from pots, for $5.00.
