" BEACK BEAUTY." 



In dark-leaved Cannas 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, shaded black, and having crimped, wavy margins. 20 cts. each; 5>2O0 per doz ; §12.00 per 100.
