PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE PLANT LIST. 



11 



The Queen of Gilt Edge Cannas, 



A grand, large-flowered, ever-blooming French 

 Canna, with a distinct golden belt around each petal, 

 the center brilliant orange scarlet, with crimson tones. 



When seen in groups the brilliancy of "Queen Char- 

 lotte " dazzles the eye with its brilliant scarlet crim- 

 son, massy gold and rich orange scarlet, separate and 

 distinct, yet blended as only Nature can blend and 

 harmonize in her own workshop and in her own way. 



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 succes- 

 sion 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. (See cut.) 



Price, dormant roots, which can be supplied up to 

 May 15th, $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. Established 

 plants from 4-inch pots, ready May 1st, $2.00 per doz. 



New Peachblow Canna. (Alba Rosei*Grandiflora.) 



known at the present time. The sheath which incloses the flower is light bronze, the 

 stem deep bronze ; the opening flower protruding shows a point of bright yellow, very 

 pretty aud distinct. It is in the fully expanded flower, however, that the great beauty 

 is shown. The base of the petals is rich, deep rose, tinting upwards through light 

 rose into flesh pink, until the color merges imperceptibly into creamy white, fully one- 

 half the flower being the latter color — the general effect reminding one of the coloring 

 in the celebrated " Peachblow Vase." The flowers are held at right angles from the 

 stem, not crowded, so that each is distinct and the effect is very graceful. The foliage 

 is dark green ; height, 5 feet. Price, $2.00 per doz., $15.00 per 100. 



|VeW CrilTlSOn Canna, Columbia. A bright crimson with very deep orange crimson 



* ^ markings ; the habit of the plant is strong, of 



symmetrical growth, about 4 feet high, with rich deep green foliage. Price, $5.00 per doz., $40.00 per 100.

 the appellation of the "Leopard" Canna. Viewed indi-

 but when planted in masses, even at a short distance,

 flowers are a clear light yellow spotted with red, very 

 large ; grows about 4J~£ feet, deep, green foliage. (See cut.)
