BETSY ROSS. We consider this one of the most beautiful of the 

 pink Cannas. A compact grower with solid well-tilled trusses, 

 flowers alw ays bright and fresh. About 3 feet. 

 BRANDYWINE. A beautiful, bronze-leaved Canna; splendid, 

 symmetrical habit, growing luxuriantly. The flowers are magnifi- 

 cent in size and color. Intense vinous-red, beautifully dappled 

 with deep crimson, occasionally edged with a narrow band of 

 bright golden-yellow. 

 CHAUTAUQUA. A distinguished-looking Canna. Flowers pure, 

 rich scarlet, intensely vivid; has luxurious tropical foliage prettily 

 bronzed, and makes a splendid color contrast with its brilliant 

 blossoms. "Chautauqua" has the habit of holding its rich bou- 

 quets of bloom high above the foliage, a feature which makes 

 this variety especially valuable for massing. 

 DUKE OF YORK. Largest and most magnificent of the variegated 

 Cannas. Bears great bunches of immense flowers. Color, a 

 beautiful rich, deep crimson, with a throat of curiously mottled 

 creamy-white, and each petal exquisitely edged with an irregular 

 border of fine gold. Light green foliage, very tough; a strong 

 grower. Height, 4 to 5 feet. 

 EVOLUTION. The flowers are rich golden-yellow, shading 

 through canary and sulphur to a centre of beautiful blush-pink. 

 Such exquisite, dainty color, mounted on the handsome dark 

 bronze foliage, produces one of the most rare and pleasing color 

 contrasts of any Canna in existence. Exceedingly unique and 

 sure to attract attention. 

 GEORGE WASHINGTON. A noble variety of exquisite finish 

 and well worthy of its name. The color is deep velvety-crimson, 

 beautifully shaded. The flowers are large, have broad petals, and 

 are borne erect in bold, massive trusses. Height, about 3J feet. 

 HIAWATHA. Foliage a beautiful bronze, not a deep, dull, dead 

 bronze; striped and variegated with rich green. The flowers

 flowers are large, have broad petals, gracefully rounded and 

 slightly crimpled. Color, a delicate tint of rosy-pink, daintily 

 dappled with silver-blush, and finished off with a border of clear 

 cerise. Height, about 3 feet. 

 NIAGARA. We consider "Niagara" the best of the low- 

 growing variegated Cannas. Great handsome trusses; broad, 

 thick, durable petals; color, rich deep crimson with a wide 

 irregular border of deep golden-yellow. An excellent grower.

4i 



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 brilliant yellow. The growth is "its dis- 

 tinctive feature. The extreme height from 

 ground to tip 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 apparent. An early and continuous bloomer.
