OTHER FINE VARIETIES OF 



FRENCH AND ITALIAN CANNAS 



Austria — Six feet. The largest flowering Canna in the world today. Single 

 flowers measure 8 inches across. An en tireiy new and distinct strain of Gannas, 

 the production of which was certainly never expected. In size of flower, in 

 vigor of growth, ir. grand effect, Austria 's not equaled by even Itaiia, its com- 

 panion plant. Planted out early in the season, Austria begins to bloom when 

 only two feet high, and immediately sends forth a large number of side shoots 

 in rapid succession, so that in July a single plant has produced from 15 to 25 

 enormous flowering stems, towering 5 to 6 feet in height, densely packed with 

 immense musa-like foliage, which resists sun and wind with impunity. The 

 flowers, of which there are 20 to 30 on a single shoot, are the largest of any 

 Canna known, measuring, when extended, over 8 inches accrcss. The color 

 is a pure canary yellow, the purest yellow of any large flowering Canna Jsnown, 

 merely two o' the sogments hncing slightly spotted with crimson.
