NEW LILLIPUTIAN CANNA, “LITTLE GEM.” 
This makes a compact mass of handsome green leaves surmounted by a 
wealth of brilliant orange-scarlet flowers, each petal lightly edged with bril- 
liant yellow. The sheath and standard are also a brilliant yellow, and the 
base of the lower petal 1s blazed with the same color up to the point where it 
recurves. In freedom of bloom it is remarkable. Plants form trusses early 
in the season, and from the appearance of the first flower until frost are a mass 
of color. The growth is its distinctive feature. The extreme height from 
ground totip rarely exceeds two feet, so that its value for edging, for centres 
of low beds, for planting in herbaceous borders or for pot culture is almost 
beyond computation. (See cut.) Price, dormant roots up to April 1st, 25c. each, 
$2.50 per doz. Growing plants, after April 1st, 35c. each, $3.50 per doz.
