ROS:^MAWR, the most showy and 

 Handsome of all Pink Cannas, (C. 8c 

 J., '98) — We ask particular attention to this 

 new variety, which is undoubtedly one of 

 the most showy and handsome of all the 

 Pink Cannas. Its enormous masses 

 of flowers and exquisite color £ 

 tract immediate attention. The 

 flowers are extra large, hav 

 ing broad, well rounded 

 petals, frequently two 

 inches across. The color 

 is bright, rosy pink, ele 

 gantly mottled with rose, 

 shaded rich golden-yel- 

 low at throat. The 

 trusses are immense and 

 borne just the right distance 

 above the foliage to show to best advan- 

 tage. The flowers are very durable and 

 retain their bright, handsome color 

 through all kinds of weather. The plant 

 makes a vigorous, handsome growth, averages 

 about 3 feet in height, and is an early and continuous 

 bloomer. We recommend it as one of our very best kinds, 

 both for bedding and hoiise culture. Your collection will 

 not be complete without this beautiful Rosemawr Canna.

 plants, 25 cts. each, postpaid.

 sulphur yellow, soon changing to rich creamy white. It 

 makes nice, shapely plants, three to four feet high, and 

 bears large trusses of creamy white flowers all through 

 the season. Alsace is indispensable for bedding in masses 

 and borders with other kinds. Alsace is specially recom- 

 mended for bedding with other and brighter colors, as 

 for instance, a bed with Pillar of Fire for centre, Alsace 

 next, and the outer row of Queen Charlotte makes a very 

 handsome combination, as the plants grow to a propor-

 best advantage. Dormant roots, 15 cts. each.; potted
