Dr. Budingen. One of the most brilliant scarlets. Flowers and 

 truss of large size, bronze foliage, 4 feet. 25 cents each; $2.50 per 

 dozen. 



Frau Marie Nagel. The most floriferous of the large white-flowered 

 varieties; an excellent bedder, contrasting well when planted in 

 connection with some of the high-colored sorts. The flowers are 

 large, with broad, well-rounded petals, and are produced in the 

 greatest profusion on 3% feet high branching stems. They are of a 

 creamy-white when first opening, changing to almost a pure white. 

 75 cts. per dozen ; $5.00 per 100.

 maroon ; very large spikes of good-sized flowers of good substance 

 thrown well above the fine green foliage. 3 feet, 75 cents per dozen ;

 flowers of large size, held well above the foliage ; $14 feet. $1.50 per 

 dozen. 



New York. A bronze-leaved orchid-flowered variety, with very 

 intense brilliant carmine flowers of great beauty. $2.50 per dozen ;

Richard Wallace. As a good free-flowering yellow Canna of vigor- 

 orous growth, we believe that this variety comes nearer to the ideal 

 than any variety yet offered. In color it is a pleasing canary-yellow, 

 with exceptionally large flowers, which are carried well above the 

 green foliage in up-right well-branched trusses ; 4% feet. 75 cents 

 per dozen ; $5.00 per 100. 



Venus. One of the softest and most delicately-colored varieties that 

 has yet been introduced. The flowers are of a fair size, of a soft rosy 

 pink, with a pretty mottled border of creamy yellow. The plant 

 always presents a clean, fresh appearance, and attracts much atten- 

 tion. It grows about 3^ feet high, and has bright green foliage. 75 

 cents per dozen ; $5.00 per 100. 



William Saunders. A gorgeous bronze-leaved variety, probably 

 coming nearer to the ideal Canna than any yet introduced. The 

 flowers are of a bright crimson-scarlet, often measuring five inches 

 across, of remarkable substance and durability, and are produced in 

 large trusses, nearly a foot across. The plant is of a uniform habit 

 of growth about 4 feet high. $2.00 per dozen ; $15.00 per 100.
