ORCHID-FI^O^VBRKD CANNAS.

 of growth of all is remarkably vigorous, and under liberal cultivation they attain a height of 6 to 8 feet, vi'hile their flowers fre- 

 quently measure 6 inches across.

 der ; the flowers are produced on massive stems, set well 

 above the foliacje, which is large and heavy.

 collection, with broad and massive foliage of a bright glossy 

 green ; very much like the Abyssinian Banana in size and 

 substance, and forming a beautiful foil to the gigantic trusses 

 of flowers, which are of a rich shade of orange-scarlet over- 

 laid with gold, and measure from 6 to 7 inches across. (See

GRAND DARK-I.KAYBD CANNA "BI^ACK BEAUTY." 



In dark^leaved Cinnas no variety attracts so much attention and is so effective as " Black Beauty ;" and while its flowers are 

 small, the massive foliage of the plant is of such an intense rich color as to at once place it at the head of the list of ornamental 

 bedding plants, where foliage or sub-tropical effect is wanted. The plant grows 5 to 6 feet high, with foliage of the richest glisten- 

 ing bronzy-purple color, shaded with black, the leaves having peculiar crimped, wavy margins. 20 cts. each ; $2.00 per doz.;
