NEW AND RARE FRENCH GflNNftS 



GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT J- ^ 



An entirely new and distinct variety; instead of being mottled 

 or spotted, it is striped. Ttie variation in the striping is re- 

 markable in the highest degree. In some petals the color- 

 ing matter runs in even bands of red and yellow, others on the 

 same stem will be all red, some flowers will be entirely red, and 

 even some spikes will have only a small proportion of yellow 

 coloring while the others on the same plant will show remarkable 

 variegation. (See cut.) Price, 50e. each, S4.50 per doz.

CANSA, 

 QCEEK 



CHABLOTTE 



. . . N6W Lilliputian Ganna, LiUl6 Gem . . . 



A remarkable variety, of which we hold the entire stock. It makes 

 a compact little clump of handsome green leaves surmounted by a 

 wealth of brilliant orange-scarlet flowers, each petal lightly edged 

 with brilliant yellow. The sheath and standard are also a brilliant 

 yellow, and the base of the lower petal is blazed with the same color 

 up to the point where it recurves. 



The Growth is its distinctive 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 almost beyond computation. Price, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.
