ITew Crimson Canna, 



" Madame Molin. 



This is rmdonbtedly the finest 

 crimson variety yet introduced : 

 the habit of the plant is all that 

 could be desired, it forming 

 strong bushy symmetrical plants 

 about three feet high, with lux- 

 uriant hea-s-y foliage of a rich 

 dark green. The flowers, which 

 are of large size and of a most 

 intense brilliant crimson, are produced in very 

 large heavy heads. The entire habit of the 

 plant, together with its bright, rich color, 

 will place it in the front rauk among the 

 ored varieties.

New Rose-Colored Canna, "Eose Unique." 



This variety is not up to the present standard in size of flowers, but is so 

 distinct in color, diflering from all others, that we consider it well worthy of 

 trial. It is the nearest approach to a rose color yet introduced, of remark- 

 ably vigorous yet dwarf growth, attaining a height of 3i feet ; the flowers are 

 present a unique appearance. Price 30 cents each. 



New Bronzed-Foliaged Canna, with Orange-Colored Flowers, "Admiral Avellan." 



In our trials the past summer we considered this the most desirable dark foliaged variety in our collection. 

 The flowers, while not as large as some of the latest introductions, are of good size, with heavy strong petals 

 which open out evenly, forming a clean pretty flower ; these are arranged sufiieiently far apart on the stems 

 to show up each individual flower ; it is of a rich orange scarlet, having a luminous rich appearance. The 

 liabit of the plant is erect, growing about 5 feet high and always forming fine symmetrical plants. Price 

 50 cents each.
