LARGE FLOWERING DWARF FRENCH 



CANNAS. 



THE BEST BEDDING PLANT FOR THE GARDEN. 



WAXTKD II V MA] 



NEW CANXA ITALIA. 



Few flowering plants combine so many fine quali- 

 ties as the modern ( 'anna— a race of subtropical bul- 

 bous plants, of most easy culture, rapid reproduc- 

 tion, and good keeping qualities. Since the distri- 

 bution by M. Crozy of his results from hybridiza- 

 tion, the floral world has been astonished by their 

 luxuriance of foliage and gracefulness of bloom, 

 which is of immense size, borne in large masses and 

 trusses, combining in color the brightest and 

 richest shades of yellow, red, orange and scarlet, 

 bringing them to the front as the linest ornamental 

 plant in commerce. Useful for the garden, green- 

 house or sitting-room. 



Two Orchid Flowered Carinas. 



An entirely distinct variety. 



ITALIA is of a bright orange scarlet with a 

 very broad golden yellow border; the flowers, which 

 are produced on massive stems, about sixteen 

 inches long, are set well above the foliage; the 

 foliage is large and heavy, similar to that of the 

 Musa Fmsente. The illustration is a true repre- 

 sentation of its magnificent flowers. 



Each, 10c. Dozen, 75c. 



AUSTRIA is a counterpart of Italia in every 

 way, except in the color of its flowers, which are of 

 a pure canary yellow, with but a few traces of 

 small reddish-brown spots in the centre of the 

 two inside petals. The cut gives only a faint idea of 

 the style of growth of both of these magnificent 

 sorts.

MADAME CROZY. — Flowers of dazzling crim- 

 son scarlet, bordered with golden yellow; a mar- 

 vellous and rich combination of colors. The plant 

 s 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 in large branching stems, 

 which are closely set with bloom, each stem being 

 really a bouquet in itself. It is remarkably free 

 flowering, and can be had in bloom the year round.

PAUL 31ARQUANT.- One of the most pleas- 

 ing on account of its large size and entirely 

 distinct color. Its color is of a bright salmon 

 scarlet, passing to a rosy carmine, with a pe- 

 culiar silvery lustre, which lights up the sal- 

 mon very brightly; 3 to 3 1-2 feet in height.

If CannaB are wanted by mail, send 5c. 

 additional for postage on each, or 15c for 

 a dozen. 



Tuberous Rooted Begonias. 



The Tuberous-Rooted Begonias are among the 

 ! handsomest of our summer-flowering bulbs. They 

 I are not grown to the extent they should be, as they 

 require no more care than Geraniums, have as fine 

 I a range of color, and will bloom continuously 

 throughout the summer, even when Geraniums 

 droop through lack of moisture and fail to unfold 

 their flowers. Planted either in the rockery or 

 flower border, they rival the Geraniums with their 

 rich and varied colors, ranging from the most deli- 

 cate shade of yellow and salmon to the most strik- 

 ing crimson and scarlet. 



Mixed Single. 10c. each; $1.00 dozen. 

 Mixed Double, 25c. each: $2.50 per dozen.
