Our New Pink Canna-Maidens Blush. 



(See Colored Plate on Back of this Page.) 



Of all the new Cannas lately introduced this is the most novel and distinct, and if possible the most beauti- 

 ful of all. The color is almost the exact shade of daybreak carnation, an indescribable tint of pink and rose— 

 daydawn loveliness — just as hard to paint as it is to describe. Our artist has done the best he could, but could 

 not make the color nearly as beautiful as it really is. Everyone says it is one of the sweetest and most lovely 

 shades ever seen. It is an immense bloomer and bears great heads of exquisite lily-like' flowers continuously, as 

 long as kept in growing condition. It will bloom nicely in a pot or box in-doors, but should be bedded out when 

 ground is warm and will continue to bloom all Summer and Fall till killed down by hard frost. The Maidens 

 Blush is an entirely new variety, originated here on our o>vn grounds, and is undoubtedly the 

 finest of its color to date. We put the price very low in order to introduce it quickly. Price, strong pot 

 grown plants, 30 cts each ; 2 for 50 cts.; $3.00 per dozen.

NOTE— This collection, planted by 

 one of our friends last year, proved the 

 grandest Canna Bed ever seen. People 

 came many miles to see it. It was fully 

 eight feet high in the centre, sloping 

 gradually to three feet at the side. It 

 bloomed continuously all Summer and 

 Fall, producing great masses of flowers 

 which harmonized exactly in color, and 

 made one of the most striking and at- 

 tractive ornamental beds it is possible 

 to have. It requires a circular bed 19 

 feet In diameter and 113 Canna plants 

 set about 18 inches apart each way, 

 and selected as follows : 



26 PiUar of Fire— For centre, flaming 

 crimson. 



63 Alsace — White, two complete cir- 

 cles next the Pillar of Fire. 



35 Queen Charlotte— For outside cir- 

 cle, crimson and gold. 



We furnish the 113 nice pot grown 

 plants, selected as above, for $15.00.

 ner to express here. Half the collec-
