KEW TRICOLOR CUPIIEA. 



BLACK CALLA LILT. 



TRUE BLACK CALLA LILY. (Arum Sanctum.) 

 A rare species from the Holy Land, which is still very scarce. The 

 flowers have a strong violet-like odor, are a deep velvety purplish maroon — 

 almost, black — on the upper side, and moss-green underneath. From the 

 centre of the flower springs a spike ten inches long, of the most intense 

 glossy black. Price. 60c. each, $6.00 per doz , for plants started in pots. 



NEW RED BEDDING COLEUS, (Fire Crest.) 

 This grand red bedding Coleus originated with Mr. Win. Ball, 

 Spujten Duyvil, N. Y., from whom we purchased the entire stock. It is 

 without exception, the most brilliantly colored Coleus as yet introduced. 

 The habit is close and compact, very short jointed, so that the leaves over- 

 lap each other and give the effect of the entire plant being one mass of 

 brilliant red. It in no way competes with Verschaffeltii ; in fact, the con- 

 trast is so marked that both coidd be olanted together with advantage. 

 Price, $1.00 per doz., $6.00 per 100. 



CANNA EHEMANI. 



Entirely distinct from all other Cannas, its rich green, tropical foliage 

 resembling the Musa or Banana. Its greatest merit, however, lies in the 

 Mowers, which are three inches long and two inches wide, of a glowing crim- 

 son color. They are produced in masses on the summit of whip-like stalks, 

 with 25 or 30 flowers on each. After flowering in summer, the roots can be 

 lifted and will bloom all winter in the house. Price, $8.00 per 100. 



CANNA NOUTONII. 



Similar to the above but more prolific in bloom, and of a deeper color. 

 Price, $8.00 per 100. 



CANNA INDICA. 



We have a large collection of the older sorts which, are mostly used for 

 fjliage effects. Price, $6.00 per 100.
