BEST PLANTS FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE. 



Collection A continued. 



Madame Crozy. Flowers of a dazzling crimson 

 scarlet, bordered with golden yellow ; a marvellous 

 and rich combination of colors. The plant is of 

 vigorous growth yet very dwarf in habit, rarely 

 exceeding four feet in height. The foliage is of 

 rich cheerful green, and very massive. The flowers 

 are produced on large branching stems which are 

 closely set with bloom, each stem being really a 

 bouquet itself. It is remarkably free flowering 

 and can be had in bloom the year around. We 

 first offered this grand Canna in the spring of 1891, 

 and we know of no other plant of which we 

 distributed such a large quantity which gave such 

 general and universal satisfaction. It is to-day, 

 the same as it has been for the past three years, 

 the most popular Canna in cultivation. 

 Maurice Mussy. Rich satiny vermilion scarlet, 

 of large size, with broad rounded petals of good 

 substance; the plant is vigorous and very uniform 

 in its growth, attaining a height of about 4 feet. 

 Mrs. Sarah Hill. Flowers of a rich carmine, 



of good size, foliage green, 2>\ feet high. 

 Paill Marqiiailt. Another grand variety, and 

 one of the most pleasing and beautiful on account 

 of its large size and entirely distinct and novel 

 color. The flowers, which are larger than in any 

 other variety, stand out from the spike separately 

 in such a manner as to attract special attention. 

 Its color, which is difficult to describe, and which 

 is frequently compared in softness to an Orchid, 

 is of a bright salmon scarlet, passing to a rosy 

 carmine with a peculiar silvery lustre, which lights 

 up the salmon very brightly. The foliage is of a 

 dark green, and its habit very dwarf, growing 

 firom 3 to 3j feet in height. 



Price of the above 12 varieties 20 cts. each, $2.00 

 per dozen, 51500 per 100. Special prices on applica- 

 tion for lots of 250 or upwards.
