BEST PIvANTS FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE. 



-Cojitinued. 



New French Carinas. 



New Criiiisou Cauua, 



"Ami Pichon." 



This may be called an improvement 

 on Explorateur Crampbel, to wliich it is 

 similar in style of flower and color, 

 though brighter in its markings than that 

 standard variety. The flowers, which 

 are of a very large size, are of a bright 

 crimson with very deep crimson mark- 

 ings, the habit of the plant is strong, of 

 symmetrical growth, about 5 feet high, 

 with rich deep green foliage. 



Price $1.00 each. 



New Crimson Canna, 



" Madame Molin." 



This is undoubtedly the finest crimson 

 ■variety yet introduced ; the habit of the 

 plant is all that could be desired, it form- 

 ing strong bushy symmetrical plants 

 about three feet high, with luxuriant 

 heavy foliage of a rich dark green. The 

 flowers, which are of large size and of a 

 most intense brilliant crimson, are pro- 

 duced in very large heavy heads. The 

 entire habit of the plant, together with 

 its bright rich color, is such as to at once 

 place this at the front among the high- 

 colored varieties. Price $1.00 each. 



New Rose-Colored Canna, 



"Rose Unique." 



This variety is not up to the present standard in sue of petals, 

 but is so distinct in color, differing from all others, that we consider 



it well worthy of trial. It is the nearest approach to a rose color yet introduced, of 

 remarkably vigorous but dwarf growth, attaining a height of SJ feet; the flowers are pro- 

 duced in large heads and present a unique appearance. Price 50 cents each. 



New Bronze-Foliaged Canna, with Orange-Colored Flowers, "Amiral Avellan." 



In our trials here the past summer we considered this the most desirable dark-foliaged variety in our collection. The flowers, 

 ■while not as large as some of the latest introductions, are of good size, with heavy strong petals which open out evenly, forming 

 a clean pretty flower; these are arranged sufficiently far apart on the stems to show up each individual flower; it is of a rich 

 orange-scarlet color overlaid with salmon in such a manner as to give the whole a peculiarly rich luminous appearance. The 

 habit of the plant we consider ahead of all the dark-foliaged varieties, being of an erect habit, growing about 5 ft. high and 

 always forming fine symmetrical plants. There is a clean appearance about this variety difficult to describe, different from all other 

 ■dark-foliaged varieties. Price §1.00 each. 



We will fiirnisli one each of the eig-ht new varieties, inclnding- Queen Charlotte, for $7.50. 



Cannas, Collection A. 



Twelve Standard Well Tried Varieties. 



The Twelve fine varieties offered in the following collection we have grown in very large quantities. It consists entirely of 

 standard well tried sorts. We can recommend these for all purposes, especially for massing in large quantities. Our large stock 

 enables us to offer them at a very low price. 



Madame Montefioke. 



AlphonSe Bouvier. This is, all points considered, prob- 

 ably the grandest variety yet introduced. It is a remarkably 

 luxuriant grower, in rich ground attaining a height of 6 to 7 

 ■feet. In color it is of a rich, brilliant crimson, almost approach- 

 ing scarlet when it first opens, changing to a deep, dazzling 

 crimson as the flowers fully develop. It has a peculiar habit of 

 •dropping the flower cluster a trifle as the second flowering 

 shoot begins to push above the first, and the shoots flower 

 three or four times in succession, a large plant frequently 

 having as many as thirty or forty of the large brilliant 

 clusters of flowers at one time. The foliage is of a rich deep 

 green color. 



Charles Henderson. A grand variety introduced two 

 years since of a fine crimson color that has become very popular. 

 While it is not quite as rich in color as Alphonse Bouvier, its 

 habit of growtlr is much more compact and uni-form, rarely 

 exceeding 3j feet in height, which makes it a de.sirable com- 

 panion to such varieties as Florence Vaughan and Madame 

 Crozy. 



Denil de St. G-revy. A grand acquisition ; flowers of 

 good size with well-rounded heavy petals of the most intense 

 rich orange scarlet ; foliage bronzy purple ; very effective. 

 \\ feet. 



Egendale. An especially valuable bedding variety with 

 dark foliage similar to the old Indica varieties, but with 

 large cherry red flowers of good shape and substance. It is 

 of compact uniform growth, attaining a height of about 4 feet. 



Explorateur Crampbel. Flowers of good size, borne 

 in large heads and thrown well above the foliage. Its color 

 is a bright orange crimson, with deep crimson markings; 

 foliage green. 4 feet. 



Florence Vaug'han. Undoubtedly one of the finest yel- 

 low spotted varieties yet sent out ; in color it is of a bright 

 rich golden yellow, spotted with bright red ; the flowers, 

 which are of the largest size, of great substance and of 

 perfect form, are borne in large heads and in the greatest 

 profusion ; the foliage is massive and of a rich green color; 

 the plants rarely exceed three feet in height. 



J. D. CabOS. Rich maroon foliage with metallic lustre; 

 flowers very large, of a peculiar rich shade of orange tinged 

 with apricot. 4J feet high. 



Kaiser Wilhelm II. Flowers not as large as some of the 

 French varieties but still of good size, and especially valuable 

 on account of its exceedingly floriferous character. It is of a 

 bright red color and the flowers are borne on stout erect stems 

 well above the foliage ; it attains a height of about three feet.
