By careful trial, for several seasons, we have proved that some of the dwarf growing Cannas make admirable 

 pot plants for window culture; thriving splendidly if given plenty of sunlight and warmth. On account of their 

 massive, graceful foliage and abundant brilliant flowers, they light up any window beautifully during the dull 

 winter months and are on hand in splendid condition for planting out in the open ground upon the approach of 

 summer. For best results, however, it is necessary to prepare the plants some months in advance by thoroughly 

 establishing them in small pots and preventing all exhausting efforts at blooming, until the proper time. This we 

 have done, selecting the varieties best adapted for indoor blooming. The following list cannot be surpassed in 

 adaptability for this purpose. 



SUNBE/VMS. The gem of all the yellow Cannas; being superior in size and brilliancy of color, freedom of 

 bloom and compactness of habit to all other yellow varieties. First introduced by us last spring. The enormous 

 flowers are over five inches in diameter and clear brilliant yellow in color, marked closely with faint orange. 

 Certain to give the utmost satisfaction and should not be omitted from any order. Ea., 50c; 3 for $1.25; doz., |4.50. 



Madame Crozy. Still one of the very best for pot culture as well as for outdoor bloom. Can always be de- 

 pended on. Enormous flower head, made up of deep vermilion-scarlet flowers, bordered with golden-yellow. 

 Large, wide petals. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., $1.75. 



QUEEN CHARLOTTE (The Gilt-edge Canna). A splendid novelty. Dwarf and compact with grand musa- 

 hke foliage, above which is borne an unbroken succession of superb trusses; each a perfect bouquet of bloom. 

 Color intense vivid scarlet, each petal broadly banded with gold. Altogether a wonderful combination of perfect 

 growth and distinct color. Ea., 50c; 3 for $1.25; doz., $4.50. 



Henry A. Dreer. Very distinct and handsome. The foliage is of a striking bronze-purple, erect and compact. 

 Both spikes and flowers are large, of a rich crimson color and exceedingly numerous; continuing for a long time. 

 It is a reliable bloomer and gives universal satisfaction. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., $1.75. 



Paul IMarquant. Distinct and striking. Flowers very large and spikes enormous. Color oright silvery-sal- 

 mon; most novel and pleasing. An exceedingly free bloomer and worthy of all the praise that can be given it. 

 Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., $1.75. 



Count Horace de Choiseul. Particularly valuable on account of its dwarf habit, beautiful color and fine flow- 

 ers. It is close and compact, very dwarf and therefore admirable for pot culture. The flowers are large, of a 

 beautiful deep carmine and well formed. It is a handsome and ornamental plant and owing to its dwarf habit 

 useful for many purposes. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., $1.75. 



SPECIAL. For $1.50 we will send one plant of each of the six varieties; or for $4.00, three 

 plants of each — by mail if desired. 



GERMAN OR PARLOR IVY. 



We have a splendid stock of this most graceful and 

 desirable decorative vine. Indispensable for baskets, 

 vases and pot culture. Makes a splendid plant for any 

 partially shaded location. Graceful and airy, yet vig- 

 orous, it can be grown in any situation, and is sure to 

 do well even without direct sunlight. Ea., 10c; 3 for 

 25c; doz., 80c. 



ISOLEPSIS GRACILIS. 



A graceful and airy grass-like plant, producing rap- 

 idly a profusion of delicate, tubular, bright green leaves 

 which droop in a most regular and pleasing manner. 

 Splendid for baskets, vases and pots; needs little care 

 and always looks well. Should be included in 

 every order. Strong plants, ea., 15c; 4 for 50c; 

 doz., $1.25. 



ARTILLERY PLANT. Pileamicrophylla. 



A handsome 

 and useful plant 

 very curious 

 from the viol- 

 ence with which 

 the small flow- 

 ers expand un- 

 der the influence 

 of moisture. 

 The dusty pollen 

 is thrown out 

 with great force, accompanied by a very audible re- 

 port, reminding one of a discharge of Liliputian artil- 

 lery, both in sound and smoke. Very interesting and 

 beautiful as a window plant, and exceedingly well 

 adapted for baskets. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50; doz., $1.50.
