SPLENDID NEW CANNAS. 



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

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

 flowers always 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 bright golden-yellow. 



CHAUTAUQUA. A distinguished-looking Canna. Flowers pure, 

 rich scarlet, intensely vivid; has luxurious tropical foliage prettily 

 bronzed. "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 

 Canrias 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. 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. 



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 3| feet.

 with rich green. The flowers are borne in big bouquets on strong, 

 straight stalks. They 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. 



LOUISIANA. A new giant, vivid scarlet-crimson Canna. The 

 flowers are more than 7 inches across. It grows 6 feet high; has 

 green foliage. 50c. each, §5.00 per doz. 



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.

"LITTLE GEM." 



This makes a compact mass of handsome green 

 leaves surmounted by a wealth of brilliant 

 orange- scarlet flowers, edged with brilliant yel-

 planting in herbaceous borders or for pot culture 

 is apparent. An early and continuous bloomer.
