These improved varieties possess all the beauty of foliage and present the tropical effect of the old 

 ones, and in addition, flower in the greatest profusion— the flowers almost equalling in size those of the 

 Gladiolus, which they excel in brilliancy. Beyond all this, the bloom is produced perpetually during the 

 whole of summer and autumn. We offer a choice assortment of the very best sorts, those superb varie- 

 ties that attracted so much attention and admiration at the World's Fair in Chicago, where they received 

 just recognition by the awarding of medals, etc. They cannot fail to give great pleasure to all who plant 

 them, being, beyond all question, the very best varieties yet produced. We urge the employment of Can- 

 nas in masses wherever stately, grand and highly ornamental effects are desired. 



The plants we offer are large, strong and well-formed, and should not be confounded with the weak, 

 poorly-rooted Cannas so often sent out. 



Plants by mail postpaid at 5c. each additional. 



Chas. Henderson. — This superb new vari- 

 ety is almost identical in habit of growth with 

 Mme Crozy but entirely distinct, the flowers being 

 of a deep bright crimson. For outdoor bedding it 

 is unsurpassed, by reason of its compact, perfect 

 habit, large size of flower, and brightness of its 

 color. Both the flowers alone and the heads of 

 bloom are larger than Mme Crozy and it is magnif- 

 icent in the effective grandeur of its bloom and 

 foliage waen massed. The plant is stately and 

 handsome, a fine, vigorous grower, affording or- 

 nament at all times, and exceedingly desirable for 

 its fine effects. By far the best introduction since 

 Mme Crozy. 



Florence Vaughan.- Decidedly the best 

 mottled yellow variety yet introduced, being of a 

 beautiful lemon-yellow spotted with bright red. It 

 is a strong, robust grower, with flowers of the larg- 

 est size and large heads, blooms freely and is won- 

 derfully showy and effective. We can recom- 

 mend this as being very satisfactory everywhere 

 and its flowers exceedingly ornamental and strik- 

 ing in their beauty. It will be found a flne con- 

 trast to the preceding when in bloom. Bronze 

 Medal was awarded at the World's Fair to this 

 grand sort. 



Price of the two preceding sorts, each, 

 5oc; doz., $5.00.
