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, 
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.
