New Large Flowering Dwarf French Cannas. 



The Most Desirable Bedding Plant for the American Garden. 



We again offer this season a set of novel- 

 ties which show a great advance and which 

 we feel sure will be appreciated. In mak- 

 ing up the various sets of Cannas here 

 offered it has been our aim to select only 

 the very best and finest types, and to pre- 

 sent a list from which our customers can 

 select any one variety with the certainty 

 of it being a plant worthy of a place in any 

 garden. 



In the novelties offered for the first time 

 this season we imported all that came to- 

 our notice, andafter thoroughly testing them 

 we have selected seven varieties which we 

 consider the cream of this year's introduc- 

 tion, discarding all others, many of which 

 were purchased at high prices. 



New Qilt=Edged Ger= 

 man Canna, "Queen 

 Charlotte." 



We offered this grand va- 

 riety in a limited quantity 

 last season at a high price ; 

 it is of German origin and will 

 no. doubt be the most popular 

 of the new varieties this sea- 

 son, and is considered by 

 many who saw the different 

 varieties of this gilt-edged type in flower on our grounds, 

 the past summer to be the finest of this class yet intro- 

 duced The plant attains a height of about three feet 

 and is furnished with heavy bluish-green foliage ; the 

 enoimous flower spikes, towering grandly above the foli- 

 age, bear a beautiful bouquet of large flowers of perfect 

 form, petals of a velvety grenade blood red, broadly 

 handed with bright canary yellow. 

 _ 50 cents each. 



Queen Pharlotte. 



New Qilt=Edged French Canna, " Souvenir de Antoine Crozy." 



This is a perfect gem and in our estimation the finest gilt-edged variety yet introduced ; the flowers are 

 large, with well rounded petals, which are of the most intense scarlet crimson, rich and dazzling, and are 

 bordered with a broad rich golden yellow border, and does not fade or scorch in the most intense hot and 

 dry weather, which proves to be the fault with some of the very high-colored varieties, notably Paul Sigrist, 

 a variety that we thought highly of last spring, but which failed badly the past dry summer, while Souv. de 

 Antoine Croiy and Queen Charlotte retained their rich colors planted side by side with this variety and 

 under precisely the same conditions. In habit the plant is all that could be desired, being of strong, vigorous 

 but dwaif habit, forming symmetrical compact plants about 3 feet high. 



$1.50 each. Stock limited. 



New Yellow Spotted Canna, " Comte de Bouchaud." 



This variety is identical in color vdth that fine variety, Florence Vaughan, from which it differs only in the 

 size of the flowers, which are fully one-sixth larger ; color, rich bright golden yellow, spotted with bright 

 red ; this is undoubtedly the finest dark yellow spotted variety yet introduced ; grows about Ai feet, high. 



Price 50 cts. each. 



New Light Yellow Spotted Canna, " Madame Montefiore." 



This is another grand variety on the same style as Florence Vaughau, but of a much lighter shade of yellow,, 

 more on the style of Capt. Suzzoni. This variety when planted in masses will give, even at a short distance, 

 a clear yellow effect, while Florence Vaughan and Comte de Bouchaud, on account of the deep yellow color 

 and heavy spots, under the same conditions have more of an orange appearance. The flowers, which are of a- 

 fine clear light yellow spotted with red, are fully as large as Comte de Bouchaud, while its habit of growth 

 is also similar to that variety. This is undoubtedly the finest Canna yet introduced for planting where a yel- 

 low effect is desired, and for this purpose is almost as valuable as a yellow without a spot would be. 



Price 50 cents each.
