NEW GERMAN BEDDING CANNA 

 KAISER WIEHEEM II. 



A variety of German origin that was first introduced in the 

 spring of '93, but for some reason its good merits were not 

 properly known. In our trial grounds the past summer we 

 considered it one of the very best of its color for massing in 

 large beds on account of its uniform, symmetrical, dwarf habit of 

 growth and its exceedingly floriferous character. The flowers 

 are not as large as the best new French varieties, but are still 

 of very good size and shape, of a brilliant red color, and borne 

 on stout erect stems well above the foliage. 



We have prepared a large stock of this variety, feeling certain 

 that it will give entire satisfaction as a plant for massing in solid 

 beds. 15 cts. each ; SI .50 per doz. ; $10.00 per 100. 



YELLOW CANNA "NEEEIE 

 BOWDEN." 



This variety, though a disappointment when first sent out on 

 account of the size and form of the individual flowers, which 

 do not compare with the Crozy varieties, and while of little 

 value as an individual plant in the garden, we consider it very 

 valuable and one of the best of its color, when planted in solid 

 beds or used as a border in connection with some of the high 

 colored sorts. 3 feet. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. ; $18.00 

 per 100.
