ALPHONSE BOUVIER. 



The richness of coloring in this variety is its greatest 

 glory, a deep, rich crimson, velvety in its intensity, overlaid 

 with dazzling red. "Words give but a meagre description of 

 its soft brilliancy. It is a strong grower, attaining a height 

 of six feet, and is so very free-blooming that from the open- 

 ing to the close of the blooming season it is a constant mass 

 of bloom. Price, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 



MISS SARAH HILL. 



A beautiful crimson-lake overlaid with carmine, and one 

 of the very best in our list. The habit of the plant is all 

 that could be desired, growing to a height of about four feet, 

 and surmounted by symmetrical heads of flowers. In our 

 grounds it was a continuous mass of bloom from the opening 

 of the season until frost. Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 



PAUL MARQUANT. 



A very beautiful and distinct variety; the individual 

 flowers are the largest among the race and are a peculiar 

 shade of salmon, overlaid lightly with soft, rosy carmine, 

 very pleasing to the eye. It can be planted with telling 

 effect in juxtaposition with any variety, crimson, yellow, red 

 or spotted, as it is distinct from all and contrasts agreeably 

 with any. Price, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 



"MADAME CROZY." (See engraving.) 



Undoubtedly the grandest of all varieties. The color is a 

 brilliant vermilion-scarlet, bordered with deep golden yellow; 

 the flowers are borne in great clusters and in such profusion 

 that they crown the plant with a blaze of glowing color. 

 The foliage is vivid green, broad and massive ; the habit of 

 the plant is compact and vigorous, its natural height being 

 rarely more than four feet. We have a grand stock of this 

 peerless variety and offer it very low, all strong plants. 

 Price, 25c. each, $2.25 per doz., $15.00 per 100.

(About one-third natural size.) 



GOLDEN ROD. 



The only really Yellow Canna of the Crozy type. 



The new golden yellow French Canna, to which we have given th« 

 above name, was raised from seed of Madame Crozy on our grounds 

 three years ago, and is easily the best yellow variety withii 

 our knowledge. Many of the so-called yellows are only 

 spotted varieties, which at a little distance have a neutral 

 tint ; but this peerless variety is clear golden yellow through- 

 out, except some scarlet spots at the base of the small 

 lower petal ; this only serves to bring into prominence the 

 beautiful yellow of the upper petals. The style of growth, 

 the foliage, the flower heads and individual florets are all 

 counterparts of Madame Crozy, which is conceded to be the 

 ideal variety in every respect, so that no higher recommen- 

 dation could be given to it. Price, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz., 

 $20.00 per 100. 



CHARLES HENDERSON. 



A magnificent variety, named by M. Crozy in honor of one of the 

 members of our firm. The flowers are deep, rich crimson, borne 

 in compacb, symmetrical heads, above a rich green foliage. The 

 habit of the plants is dwarf — about 3% ^ eet high — but the foliage 

 is broad and massive. Taken all in all, this variety may well be 

 considered the finest of recent importations. Price, *30c. each, $3.00 

 per doz. 



NEW " PEACH BLOW" CANNA.' 



(Alba Rosea Grand/flora.) 



The most distinct variety of Canna known at the present time. 

 The sheath which encloses the flower is light bronze, the stem deep 

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

 very pretty and 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 re- 

 minding 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, 

 30c. each, $3.00 per doz.
