gLDORADO. 1^ ^j^ 



This is, beyond question, the very 

 best golden yellow Canna of its class 

 now on the market, being of the high- 

 est quality in every respect. The 

 flowers are of the largest size, heads 

 full and borne well above the foliage, 

 habit dwarf and compact, 2% to 3 feet 

 in height. The color is a rich, pure 

 golden yellow, speckled so slightly with 

 red that the general effect, even at a 

 very short distance, is that of a pure 

 golden yellow. In this we have the ideal 

 yellow Canna, the flowers /i??/r inches 

 across and dropping from the spike as 

 soon as faded, leaving the plants al- 

 ways a mass of brilliant golden yellow. 

 Price, $2.25 per doz.; $16.00 per 100. 



Q 



CHARLOTTE. 



A grand, large flowered, ever blooming French Canna, with a 

 distinct golden belt around each petal, tbe centre brillaut orange 

 scarlet, with crimson tones. 



The plant is sturdy and compact, the blossoms stand well above the 

 handsome Musa-like green foliage, yet not too high ; each main flower 

 shoot is succeeded by many side shoots, thus insuring an unbroken 

 succession of flowers. The individual flowers are very large, stout and 

 densely set, but not so as to appear crowded, the whole forming a 

 perfect bouquet, and admirably adapted to resist our summer winds.

(^ THE N EW WHITE CANNA, 



"AL5ACE."i^^^^\^ 



The first of its color ~°^ 



and in every respect equal to the best among the 

 new and improved sorts. It is a vigorous grow- 

 er, with clear green foliage ; 4 feet high ; pro- 

 duces from 12 to 18 trussesof flowers in a season ; 

 an early and continuous bloomer. The trusses are full, rounded, densely crowded with flowers, 

 which, upon opening, are of a delicate sulphur yellow, changing very soon, however, to a 

 CREAMY WHITE without spots. Plants in our grounds were a solid mass of white flowers 

 all summer, a grand and novel sight. It is decidedly a most desirable Canna for its unique 

 color, and will be indispensable wherever contrast in color for bedding is required. {See cut.)
