134 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—PLANT DEPARTMENT. 
Tite Queen of Gilt Edge Cannas, 
QUEEN CHARLOTTE. 
A grand, large-flowered, ever-blooming French 
Canna, with a distinct golden belt around each petal, 
the centre brilliant orange scarlet, with crimson tones. 
When seen in groups the brilliancy of ‘‘ Queen Char- 
lotte”’ dazzles the eye with its brilliant scarlet-crim- 
son, massy gold and rich orange-scarlet, separate and 
distinct, yet blended as only Nature can blend and 
harmonize in her own workshop and in her own way. 
The plant is sturdy and compact, the blossoms stand 
well above the handsome Musa-like green foliage, yet 
not too high; each main flower shoot is succeeded by 
many side shoots, thus insuring an unbroken succes- 
sion of flowers. The individual flowers are very large, 
stout and densely set, but not so as to appear crowded, 
the whole forming a perfect bouquet, and admirably 
adapted to resist our summer winds. (See cut.) 
Price, dormant roots, which can be sent by mail if 
desired and supplied up to May 15th, 30c. each, $3.00 
per doz.; established plants from 4 in. pots, ready May Ist, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz. 
New. Peachblow Canna. (Alba Rosea Grandiflora.) The most distinct 
SS TT oI DOLL CL aOL Canna 
known at the present time. The sheath which incloses the flower is light bronze, the 
stem deep bronze; the opening flower protruding shows a point of bright yellow, very 
pretty and distinct. Itis in the fully expanded flower, however, that the great beauty 
isshown. 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 reminding 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. 
New. Crimson Canna, Columbia. a bright crimson with very deep orange crimson 
Sa EE ee. Markings thes habitzof the) plant-issstrongs-of-sym-

a... OO Or  ever-blooming French Canna, and it seems impossible

gi +} of pure yellow. The plant is sturdy and compact, grand 
foliage and habit. We have only a limited stock to offer.

ditions, have an orange appearance. The flowers are a clear 
light yellow spotted with red, very large; grows about 414
